Staunton inspires Carnacon

Youghal 0-14 St Gabriel’s 0-09

In a repeat of last year’s decider, 2011 winners Carnacon wrestled the Dolores Tyrrell trophy back from Monaghan outfit Donaghmoyne, who registered a tally of 16 wides at Páirc Seán Mac Diarmada in Carrick-on-Shannon.

Staunton may have scored all but one point of her side’s winning tally in a low-scoring encounter but her direct opponent, Sharon Courtney, was defensively brilliant nonetheless, producing a series of magnificent blocks to keep the Mayo forward at bay on numerous occasions.
