Arrangements
Munster defeated Connacht 2–2 to 0–4 in the semifinal at Athenry on 4 October with goals by Ann Comerford and Beatrice Lawrence. Leinster defeated Ulster 7–5 to 1–4 at Croke Park. Leinster won the final by 5–4 to 2–2.[3][4][5][6][7] Agnes Hourigan wrote in the Irish Press:
The winners won because they played as a team and passed out quickly to a team-mate when challenged and surrounded. Munster, who were also fine players, were a side of individuals and paid the price in lost chances.
