Bugler’s two-goal blast blows Down away

Cork 4-5 Down 2-4

Elizabeth Bugler's 37th minute goal gave them the perfect psychological boost and enabled them to sustain a strong challenge all the way to the final whistle.

Team captain Valerie O'Keeffe from the Kilbrittain-Timoleague club, admitted to a 'brilliant feeling' after having received the trophy from Association President Miriam O'Callaghan. "The girls never gave up and fair play to them, they kept going. We knew from Down's semi-final game that a quick start was vital for us and we managed that," she commented.
