Kilkenny, who defeated Wexford 6–4 to 5–6 in the Leinster final with three goals from Maura Cassin and two from Angela Downey, had no opposition in the semi-final. Cork defeated Antrim in the second semi-final with a strong second half performance. Final It was a tense final with both free takes Liz Garvan and Ann Carroll missing from positions from which they would normally have scored. Angela Downey scored the first of the game’s three goals for Kilkenny, Liz Garvan scored Cork’s first goal from a free and Ann Carroll scored Cork’s second and deciding goal from a sideline ball. Shortly after the final, Liz Garvan travelled to Zambia to take up a teaching job and was lost to the game. Agnes Hourigan, president of the Camogie Association, wrote in the Irish Press: The pity of yesterday’s game was that it never got off the ground. Both teams seemed to be too tense from the start and though Cork did manage to relax somewhat when they got ahead in the closing stages, one felt, considering the obvious talent of both teams, that the fare provided was only an insipid shadow of what it might have been, The marking was very close throughout, and while it had its moment’s the final never gave us the fast spectacular open play that we had seen earlier in the junior decider. Kilkenny, one felt, did a great deal to beat themselves. They never settled down and even in the second half it was not unusual to see three or four of their players in one another’s way.Irish Press Sept 18 1972 Final stages August 27Semi-Final Cork 5-5 – 3-1 Antrim Croke Park 1972-9-17Final15:00 BST Cork 2-5 – 1-4 Kilkenny Liz Garvan 1-2, Anne Comerford 1-1) Marion Sweeney 0-2 Angela Downey 1-0, Ann Carroll 0-3, Liz Neary 0-1 Croke Park, Dublin Lily Spence (Antrim) _red_2 _red _red_3 FF0000 FFFFFF FF0000 Cork_borderonblack _blackstripes _borderonblack FFC125 FFC125 FFC125 FFFFFF FFC125 title Kilkenny CORK: GK 1 Deirdre Sutton (Glen Rovers)FB 2 Marie Costine (Cloyne)RWB 3 Hanna Dineen (South Pres) (captain)CB 4 Anna McAuliffe (Old Als) LWB 5 Mary Whelton (South Pres)MF 6 Marian McCarthy (South Pres) MF 7 Betty Sugrue (South PresMF 8 Pat Moloney (UCC) RWF 9 Anne Phelan (Watergrasshill) 1-1CF 10 Liz Garvan (UCC) LWF 11 Marion Sweeney (Youghal GAAYoughal) FF 12Rose Hennessy (UCC) (KILKENNY): GK 1 Teresa O'Neill (St Paul’s)FB 2 Phil O'Shea (St Paul’s)RWB 3 Mary O'Neill (St Paul’s)CB 4 Carmel O'Shea (St Paul’s) LWB 5 Annie Phelan (Sliabh Bloom)MF 6 Brenda Cassin (Carrickshock)MF 7 Ann Carroll (UCD) 0–3MF 8 Liz Neary (St Paul’s) 0–1RWF 9 Bridie Martin (Thornback)CF 10 Maura Cassin (Carrickshock) LWF 11 Helena O'Neill (St Paul’s)FF 12 Angela Downey (St Paul’s) MATCH RULES 50 minutes Replay if scores level Maximum of 3 substitutions See also All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship Wikipedia List of Camogie players National Camogie League Camogie All Stars Awards Ashbourne Cup References External links Official Camogie website History of Camogie senior championship slideshow. presented by Cumann Camógaíochta Communications Committee at GAA Museum January 25, 2010 part one, part two, part three and part four Historic newspaper reports of All Ireland finals Camogie on official GAA website Timeline: History of Camogie Camogie on GAA Oral History Project Camogie Websites for Antrim and Dublin https://web.archive.org/web/20090612060401/http://www.dublincamogie.ie/ 12 June 2009 All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship 1971 All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship 1973 1932 – present 1972 All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship
