Ulster Ladies win Inter-Provincial

Ladies Inter-Provincial Football Championship Final:
Ulster 1-14  Leinster 1-06

Ulster Ladies have won the inter-provincial Football Championship defeating Leinster 1-14 to 1-06 in the final at Kinnegad on Saturday last.

It was a measured display of tactical football and top-drawer score-taking that saw the province claim their fourth Mick Talbot Cup in the competition’s history.

And for Manager Gregory McGonigle, who has now led his province success twice, it was a sweet experience.  “This win is actually better than the first one” he said.  “They’ve played football for something like three hours in the one day and in immense heat.  It’s a great achievement.

“It’s a credit to all the counties involved in Ulster that they can produce players of this calibre.  They went out in the final and did what was asked of them.”

Uachtarán Chomhairle Uladh Aogán Ó Fearghail said, “Heartiest congratulations to the Ulster women who played their hearts out for this victory.  This is the second inter-provincial title for the Ulster team in the past three years.  That is a great achievement.

“I congratulate all the players, management team and backroom team for their dedication and efforts in the inter-provincial competition.”
