With dominant displays from forwards, Barbara Ward and Klara O Sullivan, Dermot York’s side ran out comprehensive winners over a young Shannon Gaels team on a score line of 4-15 to 3-6.

Ward notched 2-6 while O Sullivan bagged 1-4 as ODR came out on top in the battle of the Queens-based sides.

Perhaps the loudest cheer of the day came for player and all-round club organizer Amy Brett who had spinal surgery just a few weeks earlier

Brett came on for a cameo appearance for the last minute which lifted the ODR crowd to its feet.

The ODR ladies set up is anchored by a massive social club of nearly 130 girls - many of whom made their presence heard in the Gaelic Park stand for the final.

I caught up with Brett, Captain Lauryn Hollywood and Club Chairperson Mary Egan after the game to get their thoughts.
