Defending champions Cork were in cruise control as they dispatched Dublin but Tipperary ran Galway in dramatic finish

With Maher dropping back from her notional position as wing forward to operate as sweeper, Cork’s Laura Treacy was freed up to hoover up a lot of those long balls. At the other end, Cork took Maher out of the game with their precise stickwork, setting up good scoring chances. Dublin persisted with playing Maher as a sweeper in the second half and so they continued to struggle to make inroads up front after half-time, despite Aisling Gannon working hard to win primary possession while outnumbered in the full-forward line.
Cork manager Ger Manley was able to flex somewhat by dipping deep into his bench and he got a substantial contribution in the form of 1-4 from play from his replacements, including two points from Clodagh Finn and Sorcha McCartan’s goal with her first possession after coming on to the pitch. Once Cáit Devane was introduced midway through the second half, she fired over a point with her first possession and it looked as the former All Star winner would be the player that would tip the scales in favour of the blue and gold, but even as Tipp piled on the pressure, Galway’s defence was able to hold up enough to leave them still within striking distance at the death.
