Final[]
Two goals from Una O'Connor and a third from at the start of the second half secured the championship for Dublin. Agnes Hourigan wrote in the Irish Press:
The scoreline did scant justice to the see saw nature of the exchanges. Far greater craft, combination and cohesion in attack, together with a back line that made only one mistake in the full fifty minutes, despite long spells of Antrim pressure, gave Dublin the title after a scintillating game. At al times but more especially so in the second half, Antrim had as much if not more of the play than the victors but whereas the Dublin forwards scored from almost every possible opportunity, the Ulster champions blazed wide time and again when well placed. Una O’Connor, who won her tenth All Ireland medal, roamed well outfield from her normal full-forward post, and, too mobile for opposing full-back , distributed the bal magnificently to a brilliant pair of corner-forwards Judy Doyle and , whose well taken scores made all the difference.[7]
