Semi-final Dublin’s superior ground play and first half goals from Anna Byrne and Mary Mernagh proved decisive in a semi-final victory over Wexford played in torrential rain. Final Cork scored three goals (from Shiela Murray, Nancy O'Driscoll and Pat Moloney) and two points without reply in the opening twenty minutes, ending the game as a contest. Cork added two goals late in the second half when Dublin showed signs of recovering. Sean Kilfeather wrote in the Irish Times: Dublin were left with a completely hopeless task after only 20 minutes, by which time Cork had scored three goals and two points, without reply. By half-time Cork had added another goal and Dublin were still scoreless. The second half saw Dublin put up a plucky fright and we were left wondering why they were so ineffective earlier. Had Dublin adopted different tactics from the start, they would scarcely have been outscored to the extent of 17 points. Agnes Hourigan, who was then president of the Camogie Association, wrote in the Irish Press: In many years watching Cork camogie teams I do not think I have seen one play better than yesterday. Cork, for whom nothing could go wrong yesterday, were obviously far the superior side from the start, the game was always entertaining, even though it lacked a real competitive element. All through it was a delight t watch the speed style, and skill of such long serving Corkonians as Pat Moloney and full back Marie Costine.Report of final in Irish Press, September 18, 1978 Mary Geaney was an Ireland women's field hockey international and officials of the Irish Ladies Hockey Union attended the match as guests. Nancy O'Driscoll became the first player to captain Cork at two different grades.
