There was controversy that members of the Camogie Association Central Council decided extra time should be played at the end of the drawn final.
[3][4][5] Agnes Hourigan wrote in the Irish Press: There was an unsatisfactory ending to an All-Ireland Club camogie championship final at Parnell Park when, after the game ende din a draw, Galway champions Oranmore did not come out to play extra time.
The referee Mrs Bernie Byrne (Monaghan) had informed the teams prior to the start of the game that extra time would be played if scores were level at the end of the 50 minutes but when the field was cleared, only Dublin champions Eoghan Ruadh lined out.
Oranmore played with great confidence against the sharp wind in the opening half, and at the interval, seemed almost certain to win when Eoghan Ruadh could only lead 0-2 to 0-1.
[6][7][8] Agnes Hourigan wrote in the Irish Press: Backed by a strong wind, Eoghan Ruadh, playing like champions, were the superior side from the start.
