Agnes Hourigan wrote in the Irish Press: Last year’s runners-up became champions when they defeated a youthful and dashing Cork combination. Cork took some time to settle down. They were forced to make one change in their team before the start, Hannah Cortter replacing Margaret McCarthy. They had first class defenders in Marie Mackey and Betty Joyce, Pat Riordan and Pat Moloney were staunch worker sin centre field and Margarete O'Leary was a sharp-shooting quarter. Deirdre Cousins, Dorothy and Elsie Walsh and Kit Codd did well for the winners.Report of final in Irish Press, March 6, 1978Report of final in Irish Independent, March 6, 1978Report of final in Irish Times, March 6, 1978Report of final in Irish Examiner, March 6, 1978Report of final in Irish News, March 6, 1978 Final stages March 5, 1978Final Wexford 6-4 – 1-2 Cork Brigit Doyle 2-1; Margaret Lacy, D Walsh, E Walsh K Codd 0-1 each.
