Cup joy for classy Donoughmore

SINGLETONS SV Donoughmore produced a magnificent performance to win the Senior Women’s National Cup title after a thrilling final on Saturday.

The Cork side — despite winning the title last season — were rank outsiders, as St Paul’s hammered them in a league meeting.

The opening quarter was scrappy with Donoughmore more controlled and they enjoyed a 10-7 lead by the fifth minute. The Killarney outfit continued to shoot from distance before Marisa Galway found her range and cut the gap to two (12-10) entering the second period.
