## Arrangements[edit]

The 50th anniversary final was staged at Páirc Tailteann, venue for the first match of cmaogie and the revival inter-provincial series in 1956. Leinster defeated Munster by 2–7 to 1–8 with two late points. A free by Wexford’s Kate Kelly and injury-time point from Kilkenny's Áine Fahy clinched victory for Leinster. Munster, who had nine players from Cork's All-Ireland winning side, trailed 2-3 to 0-5 at half-time after Leinster struck goals by Brigid Curran and Marie Dargan. Munster's only goal came 19 minutes into the second half through substitute Clare’s Catherine O'Loughlin.[3]

### Gael Linn Trophy[edit]

A last-minute point from Veronica Curtin enabled Connacht defeat Ulster by a point 3–12 to 1–17, Ulster having led 1–13 to 2–4 at half time.
