Marie O'Gorman is a former camogie player,[1] captain of the All Ireland Camogie Championship winning team in 1945.[2]

1945 final[]

The final was played at Cappoquin, at a time both Cork and Dublin were suspended by camogie central council.[3]

Presentation[]

Prior to the 1945 final she exchanged gifts with her Waterford counterpart , receiving a box of chocolates and presenting a pound of tea, reflecting war-time shortages in the two jurisdictions. The O'Duffy Cup was not presented as Dublin, in dispute with the Camogie Association, had not returned it.
