Cork won the Munster championship and succumbed to five Antrim goals from Lily Scullion in the All Ireland semi-final.
[7][8][9][10][11] The replay was staged as a curtain-raiser to the Oireachtas Hurling Final between Kilkenny and Clare at Croke Park on 15 October, which attracted an attendance of 15,879.
Leading by seven points 2-8 to 0-7 and even against wind and elements, seemed cruising to victory with just ten minutes to go, the Antrim side were rocked back on their heels when goals by Kit Kehoe and Úna O'Connor followed by a neat point from Una, brought the sides level in an amazing two-minute spell.
They moved Eileen Collins to right wing and Mairéad Carabine to left forward and the change brought quick dividends.
Three minutes later a great line ball by Sue Cashman was finished to the net by Mairéad Carabine for the decisive goal of the match.
