The Final
The teams were level on six occasions during the final. Cork’s superior fitness won the final with a late quartet of points. Fiona O'Driscoll contributed a personal total of 2-5.[3][4][5][6][7] Tipperary did not have a single wide during the hour. Cork had five, four of them in the first half.
