Mary England Katleen Downes, Katleen Griffin (two each), Edie Merrigan and Breda Scully scored in Tipperary's dramatic eight goals to 5-1 semi-final victory over Antrim at Roscrea. The match produced such a high standard of hurling that the spectators were applauding for most of the game, The Nenagh Guardian reported. Galway described the semi-final encounter as its biggest ever camogie fixture. Final The final was played after the Tipperary v Kilkenny hurling semi-final with some 6–7,000 of the 53,357 attendance staying on to view the camogie match. Financial restraints prevented Tipperary from booking into a hotel and so players had made their own way to Dublin and some had stayed overnight with relatives. They took the lead with a goal from Katleen Downes in the first minute of the game. from the tenth minute Dublin asserted their dominance. Mitchel Cogley wrote in the Irish Independent: Tipperary flattered only to deceive for the opening ten minutes and even allowing for a couple of fine efforts later on, they were defending for most of the game. For once Kathleen Mills did not display her general all-round ability, but as a contribution to winning her 13th All-Ireland medal she scored a wonder goal which must rank as the greatest ever seen. From fully 45 yards out on the sideline, the CIE club girl with deadly accuracy gave Cathleen Carroll no chance. Dublin's strength lay in the ability of Kathleen Ryder and Una O'Connor to make the most of their chances against a Tipperary defence that put in extremely hard work for a major portion of the second half. Cathleen Carroll, the Roscrea girl who kept goal for Tipperary played well and added to the numerous goalmouth thrills by bringing off a couple of freakish saves.Irish Independent Aug 11 1958 Final stages July 13 Semi-Final Dublin 5-4 – 0-1 Galway Pearse Stadium July 20 Semi-Final Tipperary 8-0 – 5-1 Antrim Roscrea August 10Final Dublin 5-4 – 1-1 Tipperary Croke Park FFFFFF 87CEEB FFFFFF 87CEEB 000000 Dublin FFFF33 0000ff FFFF33 0000ff 000000 Tipperary DUBLIN: GK 1 May Kavanagh (Col San Dominic)FB 2 Betty Hughes (CIÉ)RWB 3 Doris Nolan (Celtic)CB 4 Doreen Brennan (UCD)LWB 5 Kay Lyons (Celtic) MF 6 Bríd Reid (Austin Stacks)MF 7 Anette Corrigan (UCD) (0-2)MF 8 Kathleen Mills (CIÉ) (Capt) (2-0)RWF 9 Mary O'Sullivan (Civil Service)CF 10 Kay Ryder (Naomh Aoife) (1-0)LWF 11 Annie Donnelly (UCD) (0-1)FF 12 Úna O'Connor (Celtic) (2-1) TIPPERARY: GK 1 Catherine CarrollWhy does Mitchel Cogley refer to her as 'Cathleen'?
