The Drom-Inch star Eimear McGrath converted eight frees for Tipperary.
Tipperary 1-13 Galway 0-15 TIPPERARY CELEBRATED THE 20th anniversary of their famous League and Championship double from an era when they were the queens of camogie, by winning their first national title since.
Tipperary captain Karen Kennedy was probably the right choice for player of the match because her contributions that really swung things the way of Denis Kelly’s crew.Starting at centre-forward, it was her point that ended Galway’s run of six straight scores that threatened serious separation.
It was Niamh Mallon who had the biggest impact though. The former Down legend saw her transfer to former All-Ireland club champions Sarsfields go through mid-way through the league and she had had to wait till now to make her bow for her adopted county. McGrath did have a kicked shot at goal brilliantly stopped by the advancing Fiona Ryan but it felt at that juncture as if Tipp had really needed that to keep in touch as Aoife Donohue, Dolan and Siobhán McGrath added points.But in probably the game’s most significant period, Tipp made a few substitutions of their own, calling on experienced duo Clodagh Quirke and Juilieann Bourke, and they began to compete more vigorously in the critical middle third battle zone.
