Cork secured a record-equalling fourth successive All-Ireland U16A Camogie Championship title when they turned around a five-point deficit approaching the end of the third quarter to edge out Galway at the end of a nailbiting tussle by 0-11 to 1-7 at UPMC Nowlan Park.

The success extends the county’s advantage over the westerners at the top of the roll of honour to two, as they registered a 17th success in total, having started their current unbeaten run by ending the Maroons’ five-in-a-row bid in 2019 (there was no competition in 2020 due to Covid-19).
