The Final

The final was played immediately after the Munster hurling championship match between Tipperary and Limerick.[3][4][5][6][7] Crk settled well despite having to wait 12 minutes for their opening score. Tipperary got the better start with a Claire Grogan free after just a minute and a half. It took Cork another 10 minutes to open the scoring, when Jennifer O'Leary sent over the first of her four frees. An Emily Hayden goal gave Tipperary a 2-2 to 0-5 half time lead. Emer Dillon scored a Cork goal on the restart to level the scores and from then on Cork were in full control.

Division 2

The Division 2 final, known until 2005 as the National Junior League, was won by Kilkenny intermediates who defeated Dublin in the final. The Division 3 final was won by Clare who defeated Derry in the final.
