The Michael Ryan Cup is back home in Ballymacarbry. Sinéad Kenrick kicked four points from play as Mike Guiry's side ground out a first Munster championship in 22 years. 

Bríd McMaugh, Michelle Ryan and Kellyann Hogan also got on the scoresheet as Ballymac claimed their 15th provincial title. Wing back Karen McGrath was heroic in defence and attack for the Waterford side.
