Final

edit

Breda Holmes scored three goals for Kilkenny. Angela Downey’s ingenuity contributed to two of the goals, Marina Downey was the architect of the third. According to Kathryn Davis in the Irish Times:

An emotional Angela Downey, who was beset by cramp in the final minute and who looked as if she would not actually make it up the steps to receive the O'Duffy Cup put it more succinctly when she said: “it was pure stubbornness. We were written off but we came back for one last hurrah.”[7]
