Kathleen Hanratty had already acquired the nickname as camogie's
Lory Meagher by the time the final was played, "her rising and striking was a treat to witness"
The Irish Press reported, commenting she was the most skilled player on the field. Cork had an early goal from a 25 by Kitty McCarthy to take a 1–2 to 0–2 half time lead, Betty Riordan and
Kate Dunlea (var. Kathleen Delea) added Cork goals early in the second half.
