Arrangements

Kilkenny lost to Cork (who scored 4-11 against them) but defeated Dublin in an evening semi-final fixture at Danesboro. The team had put in very little by way of preparation for the final.

The Final

Kilkenny led by 0-5 to 0-3 at half-time in the final and won by just three points.[3][4][5][6][7] Siobhan Dunne availed of a mistake in the Kilkenny defence to put Wexfrod in front five minutes into the second half, Ann Donwey and Bridie McGarry inspired Kilkenny to hold out for victory despite another Wexford goal in the last minute by Angie Hearne.

Division 2

The Junior National League, known since 2006 as Division Two, was won by Kildare who defeated Kilkenny intermediates in the final. Kildare beat Roscommon and Kilkenny beat Antrim in the semi-final.
