Cork owe their victory over Antrim to a tremendous opening quarter when they raced into an eleven-point lead with two goals from Pat Moloney and a third from Rose Hennessy.
Liz Garvan, the 17-year-old tennis champion from Old Als, stole the show in the All-Ireland final with 3-6 of Cork’s total.
Agnes Hourigan, president of the Camogie Association, wrote in the Irish Press This was a match from which Cork emerged the most clear-cut of winners.
They had an early shock when Anne Carroll cracked home Maura Cassin’s pass in the fourth minute but the advantage was short lived.
True, Kilkenny had plenty of chances through the last ten minutes but their forwards were over-anxious and fumbled them away.
