Writing about the Dublin-Antrim semi-final Pádraig Puirséil wrote in the Irish Press: I have seen some stage of every All_ireland camogie championship ever played since the O'Duffy cup competition began in the 1932-'33 season but I cannot remember a more effective right wing than Antrim's Mairead McAtamney on Sunday last.
Agnes Hourigan wrote in the Irish Press: While there could be no doubt whatever about the superiority of the winners, the game itself fell well below expectations.
The western forwards, poorly served by their midfielders, had to travel far out for the ball and rarely troubled the Dublin defence, though it must be recorded in their favour that they did snatch the only two real chances they got, one in each half.
The Connacht Tribune reported Dublin who started firm favourites were more than a little surprised by the tenacity of the Galway girls, who fought all the way.
Galway did not win, but their goalie, Eileen Naughton of St Mary's was the most outstanding player on the field.
