Cork emerged as emphatic champions to collect their 29th All-Ireland title.
The result appeared inevitable from the moment Sorcha McCartan tapped the ball to the net in the first half, but it was Cork’s scoring burst in the second half that had the most devastating effect of the day.
That damaging sequence put Cork into a commanding 4-9 to 0-3 lead and Fiona Keating provided their fifth goal in the 50th minute to completely bury Waterford. Her score was particularly noteworthy considering Orla Cronin’s high-quality assist from just inside the sideline. Five minutes into the All-Ireland final, Waterford lost corner-back Vikki Falconer to injury. In the 33rd minute, Beth Carton mis-hit a penalty and watched her effort trail wide of the net and the posts. The opportunity came at a time when Waterford were at risking of drifting out of contention entirely after corner-forward Annie Fitzgerald was fouled.
They were relentless in their pursuit of a goal that might alter the trajectory of the game, but credit to Cork’s defence, they refused to cough up anything in their quest to prevent a third consecutive All-Ireland final loss.
