The Final

A late Jennifer O'Leary pointed free brought the title to Cork. Wexford started strongly to hold a 0-8 to 0-3 half time lead thanks to good work in the midfield sector from Kate Kelly and Caroline Murphy, but Cork came back resolutely in the second half.[3][4][5][6][7]

Maire Ni Scollai reported in the Irish Independent:

A spectacular goal-scoring spree from both sides between the 48th and 58th minutes ensured that the crowd were on the edge of their seats throughout.irish Independent May 7 2007

Goals from Jennifer O'Leary, Una O'Donoghue and Síle Burns within five minutes gave Cork a 3-6 to 0-9 lead with seven minutes to go, but two goals from Wexford full-forward Michelle Hearn meant the sides were level as the game headed for injury-time and O'Leary's late winner. Wexford defeated Cork by 4-12 to 0-14 in the opening round of the championship six days later Rebels routed as Wexford hit back with a vengeance and went on to reverse the result in the All-Ireland final a few months later.

Division 2

The Division 2 final, known until 2005 as the National Junior League, was won by Limerick who defeated Cork intermediates in the final. The Division 3 final was won by Waterford who defeated Down by two points in the final.
