Valerie Mulcahy scored 3–2, including two penalties, as Cork defeated Monaghan by 14 points. Mulcahy provided the game's opening score, a penalty in the third minute, following Christina Reilly's foul on Mary O'Connor. Although Monaghan would get back to within a point of Cork on three separate occasions, they subsequently trailed all the way to the finish. At half-time, just three points separated the sides, with Cork leading by 1–8 to 0–8. The crucial goal for Cork came five minutes after half-time, when Mulcahy palmed home a disputed second goal to open up a 2–8 to 0–8 lead. Any faint hopes of a Monaghan revival ended when substitute Ciara O'Sullivan scored a goal with her first touch of the game. Five minutes from the end, Mulcahy completed her hat-trick of goals when she netted a second penalty. Aside from Mulcahy and O'Sullivan, other notable performers for Cork included Juliet Murphy in midfield who scored 0–3, substitute Rhona Buckley, who scored 0–2 and Briege Corkery who produced a fantastic diving block midway through the second half to prevent a Monaghan goal.https://www.rte.ie/sport/ladies-football/2008/0928/238807-cork_monaghan/ Cork 4-13 Monaghan 0-11 www.rte.ie 28 September 2008 15 March 2018https://www.balls.ie/gaa/10-incredible-facts-about-ladies-football-342074 10 Incredible Facts About Ladies Football 11 August 2016 www.balls.ie 9 March 2018 Match info 28 September 2008 Croke Park, Dublin Cork ladies' football Valerie Mulcahy (3-2)Ciara O'Sullivan (1-0)Juliet Murphy (0-3)Nollaig Cleary (0-2)Mary O'Connor (0-2)Rhona Buckley (0-2)Amanda Murphy (0-1)Amy O'Shea (0-1) 4–13; 0–11 Monaghan ladies' football Edel Byrne (0-3)Catriona McConnell (0-3)Therese McNally (0-2)Isobel Kierans (0-1)Niamh Kindlon (0-1)Ciara McAnespie (0-1) Keith Tighe (Dublin) https://www.rte.ie/sport/ladies-football/2008/0928/238807-cork_monaghan/ Cork 4-13 Monaghan 0-11 www.rte.ie 28 September 2008 15 March 2018https://www.sportsfile.com/more-images/PS0809100/ Cork v Monaghan - TG4 All-Ireland Ladies Senior Football Championship Final Photos www.sportsfile.com 15 March 2018 28 September 2008 20,015 Teams Manager: Éamonn Ryan Team:1 Elaine Harte2 Ciara Walsh3 Angela Walsh (c)4 Linda Barrett5 Briege Corkery6 Bríd Stack7 Geraldine O'Flynn8 Juliet Murphy9 Norita Kelly10 Nollaig Cleary11 Mary O'Connor12 Deirdre O'Reilly13 Valerie Mulcahy14 Amy O'Shea15 Amanda Murphy Substitutes:Rena Buckley for C.
