Killarney claim title with easy win over Limerick

AFTER their narrow escape against holders Douglas in the quarter-final, Killarney’s dominance in the Suzuki Southern District Ladies Senior Cup final was never in doubt as they ran out the easiest of winners against Limerick at Castletroy yesterday.

Mary Sheehy and Margaret Hayes won out the country against Mary Conlon and Patricia Fitzgibbon respectively and it was left to Bridget Gleeson Healy to seal the title with a four and three win over Grainne D’Alton.

Limerick, appearing in the final for only the second time - they were runners-up last year as well to Douglas, made a promising enough start but they were unable to contain a Killarney side that had far greater experience following a four-in-a-row achievement in this come petition in recent years.
