[6] Margaret O'Toole scored the goal to bring Clare into the All-Ireland semi-final for the second successive year and third time in all.
Cork scored three goals (from Sheila Murray, Nancy O'Driscoll and Pat Moloney) and two points without reply in the opening twenty minutes, ending the game as a contest.
Had Dublin adopted different tactics from the start, they would scarcely have been outscored to the extent of 17 points.Agnes Hourigan wrote in the Irish Press: In many years watching Cork camogie teams I do not think I have seen one play better than yesterday.
Cork, for whom nothing could go wrong yesterday, were obviously far the superior side from the start, the game was always entertaining, even though it lacked a real competitive element.
All through it was a delight t watch the speed style, and skill of such long serving Corkonians as Pat Moloney and full back Marie Costine.
