Maol Muire Tynan later to become a journalist, played in goal as Kilkenny defeated Tipperary 1–7 to 1–1 in the new open draw quarter-final at Gowran. Tipperary failed to score in the second half as Carmel Doyle scored Kilkenny’s goal. Galway kept some of their more prominent players for the junior team but put up a surprisingly good show against Cork. Semi-finals Kilkenny needed a last-minute point from a free by Helena O'Neill in the semi-final at Wexford Park. Cork had a somewhat fortuitous first round victory over Galway but looked a team of champions when defeating Antrim in the semi-final. Final Kilkenny were lucky to draw the final against Cork at Croke Park on 15 September with the last puck of the match from Helena O'Neill from an acute angle.Report of final in Irish Press, September 16, 1974Report of final in Irish Independent, September 16, 1974Report of final in Irish Times, September 16, 1974Report of final in Irish Examiner, September 16, 1974Report of final in Irish News, September 16, 1974 Cork had first half goals from Marian McCarthy, Nancy O'Driscoll and Marion Sweeney goaled for Cork in the first-half while Carmel Doyle and Angela Downey replied for Kilkenny.Agnes Hourigan, president of the Camogie Association, wrote in the Irish Press: This was one of the great finals in which the skills displayed by the Cork and Kilkenny hurlers were often evident. The high standard of play, the speed of the layers, and the accuracy of the free-takers all combined to make this a memorable game. Both sides missed chances but the Kilkenny attack muffed one opportunity towards the end that would probably have given them the title.Irish Press Sept 16 1974 Replay Kilkenny led from start to finish in the replay and the goalkeeping of Deirdre Sutton prevented Kilkenny winning by a greater margin. At the end of the game the Cork players carried Ann Carroll, now in her twelfth inter-county season, off the field. Agnes Hourigan, president of the Camogie Association, wrote in the Irish Press: Kilkenny gave a brilliant display in the opening half, being faster to the ball, and to the strike. Cork never gave up. They chased every ball but were not as accurate as usual in front of goal. Kilkenny clinched the issue with a goal by Ursula Grace in the 22nd minute.Irish Press Oct 6 1974 Final stages July 14Quarter-Final Cork 3-5 – 3-2 Galway The Mardyke July 14Quarter-Final Kilkenny 1-7 – 1-1 Tipperary Gowran July 28Quarter-Final Wexford 3-7 – 2-3 Dublin Na Fianna August 18Semi-Final Kilkenny 3-2 – 3-1 Wexford Helena O'Neill 0-5, Carmel Doyle 1-1.
