Arrangements

The championship was organised on the traditional provincial system used in Gaelic Games since the 1880s, with South Pres and Breaffy winning the championships of the other two provinces.

The Final

Helena O'Neill scored three goals in St Paul’s victory over Bellaghy who had seven Derry county players on their team together with Teresa Cassidy, the former Antrim All-Ireland goalkeeper. Agnes Hourigan wrote in the Irish Press:

After an uncertain start they gave a magnificent display of camogie before what was, very fittingly, the biggest crowd ever mustered for one of these club championship finals.

gollark: The issue is that I was naively `cp new-thing /bin/old-thing`ing, which is wrong.
gollark: I assume it does the unlink thing?
gollark: But just copying the replacement file onto the old one does NOT work.
gollark: They are basically the same.
gollark: Presumably it something something buffers it if the original file is gone.
