For long stretches of this afternoon’s contest at TEG Cusack Park in Mullingar it looked as if the big story of the 2021 All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship was unfolding, with the All-Ireland champions from Kilkenny pushed to the wire by Westmeath.

The home side continued to hold a lead over their opponents right up until the second-half water break, when a goal from Miriam Walsh finally set the Cats on the way to a 2-17 to 1-11 victory.
