Galway lift the Jack McGrath Trophy in Gala All Ireland Intermediate Replay

“

Galway 3-10

Cork 1-5

FROM the outset, Galway were intent of putting the disappointment of the drawn Gala All Ireland intermediate camogie championship final behind them, after they let a four point lead slip at the death a few weeks ago in the Gaelic Grounds.

This time at McDonagh Park, Nenaght they showed little respect to the opposition going in at the break, with a 1-6 to 1-2 advantage. A Laura Mitchell goal on 24 minutes putting them into a commanding lead, but Cork duly responded straight from the puck out when Emer Watson fired past Deirdre Ward.

The Maroon attack though were not to be outdone and came out with all guns blazing in the second half. Further goals from Aoife Lynskey and Caroline Murray on 36 and 43 minutes put the game well beyond Cork‘s reach, sending the McGrath trophy west – a much needed fillip for the westerner girls.

Galway 3-10, A Lynskey, C Murray 1-2 each, L Mitchell 1-0,M Conroy 0-4f,C Bowes, C Conroy 0-1 each.

Cork 1-5,  E Watson 1-0, M Browne 0-3 (0-2f), N Dilworth 0-2.
