Arrangements

The championship was organised on the traditional provincial system used in Gaelic Games since the 1880s, with Loughgiel Shamrocks and Granagh-Ballingarry winning the championships of the other two provinces.

The Final

Martina Haverty's goal for Pearses proved decisive in the final, as the Galway team led 3-3 to 1-0 at half time but had to contend with a Lisdoweny comeback which began when Ann Downey scored a goal from a free and Marina Downey added three points.[3][4][5]
