All Ireland Success For Clare Camogie

CLARE 2-08 OFFALY 1-10, Croke Park

It was a case of third time lucky for Clare as Shona Enright's injury-time goal ended their final heartbreak at Croke Park.

The Banner girls claimed the All-Ireland junior camogie title for the first time since 1986 and avenged their defeats to Dublin (2006) and Derry (2007). Carina Roseingrave's goal nudged Clare ahead but Arlene Watkins supplied 1-01 to fire Offaly to a 1-07 to 1-03 interval lead.

However, Joachim Kelly's side were left stunned by Laura Linnane's four-point haul and that decisive strike from Enright, Breakingnews.ie reports.
