Thurles went ahead by a early penalty but the teams were drawn 3-3 just before half time. The final score was 8-3 to the Cookies in a thriller of a match that saw Young Munster cross the opposition line on two occasions only to be held up before finally sealing the win with a try as the Limerick girls held tight to grind out the win in exhausting heat.

Sam Mc Carthy kicked the penalty for the Cookies while captain and full back Eilis O'Callaghan got the winning try. Established just two seasons ago by Trish Montgomery, emotions were high at the whistle for all the team and background staff. Coach Eddie Montgomery was thrilled, "I am delighted for the girls, and so proud of them. They showed great defence and the whole panel's work off the pitch got us here today. We are proud to deliver this for the club, and delighted to repay our Club President Ger ‘Mousey’ Hannon, and Eddie Fitzgerald from the Corner Flag Bar, to name just a few, for all their support and faith in this team."
