Just 4 points seperated the sides at half time but Lee’s second goal put Newcastle West firmly in the driving seat.

Monaleen closed the gap to 5 points in the 54th minute, but the 2015 champions didn’t panic and went on to claim the last two points of the game, Lee again involved as he claimed the last score from a free.

Newcastle West now await the winners of next Sunday’s second semi-final between Dromcollogher Broadford and Adare.
