Munster Senior Final


Tipperary 1-14 

Waterford 0-14


Tipperary were crowned Munster camogie champions following a 1-14 to 0-14 win over Waterford at FBD Semple Stadium.

In a tight affair, Caoimhe Stakelum's goal 41 minutes proved decisive as the Premier County won a second provincial crown in four years.

The Thurles Sarsfields player broke clear of her marker and finished well coming in from the left to put her side five points clear, and they held off a tough Waterford challenge from there.

Waterford, chasing a first title since 1959, started strongly with a couple of Abby Flynn scores, but they trailed 0-08 to 0-06 at the break with Eimear McGrath knocking over a series of frees for Tipp.

Caoimhe Stakelum and McGrath extended that lead further on the resumption, and although Allanah O’Sullivan and Beth Carton replied for the Déise, Stakelum’s goal always felt crucial.

Waterford did hit three of the next four scores to bring the gap back to three, but that was the margin at the end too as they sides traded some late scores. Laura Leenane pulled off an number of great saves for james Hefeernan's side while player of the match Karin Blair was superb at wing back driving forward on 2 ocassions to score 2 points. The sides will meet again in 3 weeks time in the opening round of the Glen Dimplex All-Ireland championship.
