Arrangements

The championship was organised on the traditional provincial system used in Gaelic Games since the 1880s, with Killeagh and Swatragh winning the championships of the other two provinces. Angela Downey was suspended after a controversial all Ireland semi-final between St Paul’s and Killeagh on October 23. Angela Downey and Breda Kelly of Killeagh were reported for striking in the match, although neither was sent off. It led to a six-month suspension for both. If the final with St Mary's, Glenamaddy had not been called off 24 hours before it was due to start, she would have collected a seventh club medal. Ann Downey scored 2–6 of St Paul’s total in the semi-final against Killeagh. Glanmaddy’s half time lead of 1-5 to 0-=1 was enough to sustain them through the other semi-final.

The Final

After the suspension of her sister, Ann Downey scored a late goal to win the title for St Paul’s [3][4][5]
