Gailltir regain senior camogie title after epic final

Gailltir are county senior camogie champions for the second time in three years after a 1-17 to 2-13 victory over De La Salle in a rip roaring final at the WIT Arena.

Player of the match Annie Fitzgerald scored nine points, including six in the second half, while full forward Aoife Fitzgerald chipped in with 1-3. Beth Carton fired 1-12 for De La Salle and Abby Flynn also found the net as the Gracedieu side came up short in a nail biting finish.

Gailltir led 1-9 to 0-5 entering first half injury time. Aoife Fitzgerald netted on eight minutes for last year's runners-up. Beth Carton buried a penalty before the break however to leave De La Salle four points down.

The first time finalists levelled the contest on 43 minutes when Abby Flynn produced a brilliant solo goal. Gailltir responded with the next three points. Carton twice closed the gap to one but Salle couldn't find an equaliser over six minutes of stoppage time.
