Faithful save best for last as terrific Teehan relegates Limerick

Limerick are undergoing a transitional period too and they fought valiantly but just had no answer to the brilliance of Teehan.

Mairéad Teehan came up trumps for Offaly, scoring 3-5 as the Faithful saved the best for last to retain their Littlewoods Ireland Camogie League Division 1 status and in the process, consign Limerick to the second tier by virtue of a 3-10 to 1-13 scoreline at Moneygall on Saturday.

Teehan’s heroics on her club pitch made her the leading scorer in the division with 4-17 but far more importantly, ensured that Offaly would continue to have the benefit of the very highest level of competition as they look to develop under Susan Earner.
