Committed Munster take InterProvincial title undefeated.

a conclusion at St Loman’s in Mulingar on Sunday after 2
days of exciting football. Munster took the ultimate honours
defeating Ulster, to go right through to win the competition
undefeated.

Final Munster 2-11 Ulster 2-04

Munster opened with the stiffish breeze to their backs and
received the perfect boost when Waterford Player Mary 0’Rourke
had the ball in the net within 2 minutes. Patrice Dennehy
added two points before Aisling Tierney opened Ulster’s
account with a point The Munster girls upped the ante and
by halftime they had opened up a lead of 2-08 to 1-03 courtesy
of some brilliant inter passing movements and some excellent
score taking. Mary O’Rourke added 2 more points, Patrice
Dennehy a goal, Valerie Mulcahy 2 points Mary 0’Donnell
a point. The Munster scoring was closed out in the first
half with an excellent point from 45 metres from Emer Enright
who operated as a 3rd midfielder.

Despite a spirited performance by Ulster in the 2nd half,
the Munster girls were never in danger and while they added
just 3 points to their 1st half total, they limited Ulster
to a goal and a point to run out worthy winners. Munster
under Manager Michael Ryan Of Waterford and with Marie Halvey
Limerick and Peadar O’Shea as selectors showed huge commitment
for the week-end and were delighted with their ultimate
success in what was great football get together. Good news
for them was that their influential centre back Sarah O’Connor
injured on Saturday and hospitalised overnight in Mullingar
was released from hospital on Sunday morning and took her
place in the Munster dugout to cheer her team to victory.
