Limerick 2-9 Cork 0-6:Limerick claimed their first senior All-Ireland camogie championship title yesterday in the All-Ireland Senior B final replay at Páirc Uí Rinn.

Limerick held a 1-3 to 0-4 interval advantage, with Eileen O'Brien blasting the sliotar to the Cork net within a minute of the game starting. Orla Curtin sealed the win for Limerick when she hit the back of the net with three minutes remaining.

SCORERS - Limerick: E O'Brien 1-4 (point from free, point from 45); O Curtin 1-1; N Mulcahy 0-2; M Keating, M Nash 0-1 each. Cork: E O'Sullivan 0-5 (all frees); D Twomey 0-1.
