Semi-finals Kilkenny won the Leinster Championship for the first time when they defeated Dublin 5–3 to 4–3 and received an unexpected bye to the All-Ireland final when Galway withdrew, receiving a three-month suspension from Central Council for failing to fulfil the fixture. Cork owe their victory over Antrim to a tremendous opening quarter when they raced into an eleven-point lead with two goals from Pat Moloney and a third from Rose Hennessy. Final Liz Garvan, the 17-year-old tennis champion from Old Als, stole the show in the All-Ireland final with 3-6 of Cork’s total. Agnes Hourigan, president of the Camogie Association, wrote in the Irish Press This was a match from which Cork emerged the most clear-cut of winners. They had an early shock when Anne Carroll cracked home Maura Cassin’s pass in the fourth minute but the advantage was short lived. Cork were in full command. True, Kilkenny had plenty of chances through the last ten minutes but their forwards were over-anxious and fumbled them away.Report of final in Irish Press, September 20, 1970 Final stages August 20Semi-Final Cork 3-5 – 3-2 Antrim September 20Final Cork 5–7 – 3-2 Kilkenny Croke Park, Dublin FFFFFF FF0000 FFFFFF FF0000 000000 Cork 000000 ffbf00 000000 ffbf00 000000 Kilkenny CORK: GK 1 Mel Cummins FB 2 Marie Costine (Cloyne)RWB 3 Hanna Dineen (South Pres)CB 4 Mary Joe Ryan (Youghal)LWB 5 Sheila Dunne (Canovee)MF 6 Betty Sugrue (South Pres)MF 7 Anna McAuliffe (Old Als)MF 8 Anne Comerford (Watergrasshill) (Capt)RWF 9 Pat Moloney (UCC)CF 10 Liz Garvan (UCC) (3-6)LWF 11 Peggy Dorgan (2-1)FF 12 Rose Hennessy UCC)Substitutes: CB Anne Crotty 55 (KILKENNY): GK 1 Jo Golden (St Paul’s)FB 2 Nuala Durcan (St Paul’s) 21 50RWB 3 Anne Phelan (St Paul’s)CB 4 Mary Kennedy (St Brigid’s Ballycallan) 50LWB 5 Joan Kelly (St Paul’s)MF 6 Liz Neary (St Paul’s)MF 7 Carmel O'Shea (St Paul’s)MF 8 Peggy Carey (St Brigid’s Ballycallan) (1-1)RWF 9 Helena O'Neill (St Paul’s)CF 10 Ann Carroll (St Paul’s)l (2-1)LWF 11 Brenda Cassin (St Paul’s)FF 12 Maura Cassin (St Paul’s)Substitutes: CB Mary Conway (St Paul’s) for Nuala Duncan 21 MATCH RULES 50 minutes Replay if scores level Maximum of 3 substitutions See also All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship Wikipedia List of Camogie players National Camogie League Camogie All Stars Awards Ashbourne Cup References 30em External links Camogie Association Historical reports of All Ireland finals Historical reports of All Ireland finals * All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship: Roll of Honour Camogie on facebook Camogie on GAA Oral History Project All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship 1969 All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship 1971 1932 – present All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship 1970 All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship
