Arrangements

The championship was organised on the traditional provincial system used in Gaelic Games since the 1880s, with Oranmore and Kilkeel winning the championships of the other two provinces. Margaret Leacy who had missed the previous season returned to the Buffers Alley team and her presence was a factor in their reversing the result in the 1980 final.

The Final

Buffers Alley went five points up in the first ten minutes of the final and won by five.[3][4][5]
