Donoughmore make it three in a row

Donoughmore 3-13 St Patrick's, Kerry 1-5

Early resistance from the Kerry girls ended when Donoughmore’s Juliet Murphy billowed the net after 15 minutes, and on the evidence of yesterday’s performance, it will take a good side to dethrone the All-Ireland club champions.

Leading 1-6 to 0-2 at the break, they had one anxious moment after the changeover, when Eimear Knightly rattled the net. This really stung Donoughmore into retaliation and from there to the finish playing, an attractive brand of open no nonsense football, they scored at will.
