It opened the way for Louth to win the Leinster championship once more, defeating Meath by 8–2 to 4–1 in the Leinster final in Darver. A goal entering the third quarter from Kitty Buckley and two from Renee Fitzgerald were the turning points in Cork's 6–3 to 2–3 victory over Louth in the semi-final. Louth refused Cork's offer of a walkover in the All Ireland semi-final, also fixed for Darver. They paid Cork's travelling expenses, organised a welcome reception and then made their exit from the championship by an 11-point margin. Patsy McCullagh scored all of Galway's 2–1 in the semi-final in Belfast but missed the final. Final Renee Fitzgerald scored four goals in the final as Cork won by 15 points. Cork were not presented with the O'Duffy Cup as Dublin had not returned it. They played in grey, green and white, the colours of county champions, Old Aloysians, who supplied ten of the starting twelve.Report of final in Irish Press, November 13, 1939 Final stages 22 October Semi-Final Galway 2–1 – 1–1 Antrim McRory Park 29 October Semi-Final Cork 6–2 – 2–3 Louth Darver 12 NovemberFinal Cork 6–1 – 1–1 Galway Croke Park FF0000 C0C0C0 FF0000 C0C0C0 000000 CorkFFFFFF 800000 FFFFFF 800000 000000 Galway Cork: GK 1 Peggy Hogg FB 2 Joan Cotter RWB 3 Bríd Cronin CB 4 Kathleen CoughlanLWB 5 Mary FitzgeraldMF 6 Nan O'Dowd MF 7 Lil Kirby (0–1) MF 8 Maura Cronin RWF 9 Kitty Buckley (1–0)CF 10 Josie McGrath LWF 11 Eileen Casey (1–0)FF 12 Renee Fitzgerald (Capt) (4–0) Galway: GK 1 Josie Melvin FB 2 Kathleen Keyes RWB 3 Monica Duggan CB 4 Catherine Griffin LWB 5 Nora O'Connell MF 6 Nora Kavanagh MF 7 Kathleen Cosgrave MF 8 Frances Coen RWF 9 Hilda Murphy (1–0) CF 10 Eileen O'Beirne LWF 11 Peg Morris (Capt) (0–1) FF 12 Celia Mulholland 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 Camogie Association Historical reports of All Ireland finals* All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship: Roll of Honour Camogie on facebook Camogie on GAA Oral History Project All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship 1938 All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship 1940 All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship 1932–present Category:1939 in camogie 1939
