Lucan Sarsfield (Dublin) 6-4     Burgess Duharra (Tipperary) 0-2

Dublin camogie received a timely boost with an emphatic win over Tipperary champions Burgess-Duharra in sweltering heat at Cusack Park in the division one final. Goals win games at any level and the ability of Lucan to create and execute proved the winning of the premier camogie crown.

The Lucan goalscorers in the first half were Sarah Boland (2), Aoife Clancy (2) and Amy Conroy with all goals coming from play. Burgess hit back in the opening half with a brace of points from midfielder Jenny Grace to retire (5-1) to (0-2) in arrears at the interval.

Little changed in the second half for Lucan who attacked with confidence and Burgess improved their performance markedly but could not score despite a spirited display. The only goal of the second half went to Charlotte Rooney while Laura Morrissey and Orla Beegan added points to spark off wild celebrations at the final whistle.
