Lily Coish would cap the game for the Gaels with a fourth goal in the dying minutes.
The Ridgebacks will now turn their eyes towards one of the biggest events of the year, Campus Cup, on Tuesday, September 3, where they will face off against the Durham Lords and look to continue their ten-year streak of victories at the event.
