The championship was won by Cork, who defeated Dublin by a single point margin in the final.
[citation needed] St Aloysius School had won the Cork Senior Championship so 17-year-old Josie McGrath captained the team alongside schoolmate Kitty Buckley and Peggy Hogg a late withdrawal from the team.
Jean Hannon scored an early Dublin goal but Cork led by two points at half time and had pulled ahead until two Dublin goals for Angela Egan set up an exciting finish.
[citation needed] The Irish Press reported, Two worthier exponents of the code could not be found, and after one of the greatest games ever played, Cork retained their title.
Territorially they were a good deal more of the play and were it not for Dublin's grand defence in which Misses Gill, Egan and Kenny were the stars, Cork would have had a more substantial win.
