Armagh-Westmeath junior camogie final goes to replay

Armagh 1-7 Westmeath 1-7

A Bernie Murray point mid-way through the second half ensured that the All-Ireland junior A camogie final in association with RTÉ Sport will go to a replay, to be played on October 2.

A brilliant Pamela Greville goal in the 12th minute and four points from play by midfielder, Denise McGrath put Westmeath in a strong position in the first half but an injury time goal by Brid O’Hagan left Armagh trailing by just three points at the interval.

The second half was a much tighter affair but two Colette McSorley points reduced the margin to the minimum and it was tit-for-tat from there until the end.
