Hannah Cronin brought her Munster final form to Eglish in county Tyrone, where she beat Ulster champion, Shannon Maguire, by almost a bowl of odds in a top quality All-Ireland intermediate final.

She led from the off, but it took her a few throws to hit her stride. She just shaded the opening shots to O’Neill’s. She then beat Maguire’s big bowl to Moy Point by 25m. She was out McNally’s in two more big shots to extend her lead to almost a bowl.
