Three goals each from Judy Doyle and Una O'Connor and further goals from Mary Sherlock and Brid Keenan secured Dublin's place in the final on a day that Cork's train broke down en route to Dublin.November 2024 Final Two goals from Una O'Connor and a third from Bríd Keenan at the start of the second half secured the championship for Dublin. Agnes Hourigan wrote in the Irish Press: The scoreline did scant justice to the see saw nature of the exchanges. Far greater craft, combination and cohesion in attack, together with a back line that made only one mistake in the full fifty minutes, despite long spells of Antrim pressure, gave Dublin the title after a scintillating game. At al times but more especially so in the second half, Antrim had as much if not more of the play than the victors but whereas the Dublin forwards scored from almost every possible opportunity, the Ulster champions blazed wide time and again when well placed. Una O’Connor, who won her tenth All Ireland medal, roamed well outfield from her normal full-forward post, and, too mobile for opposing full-back Moya Forde, distributed the bal magnificently to a brilliant pair of corner-forwards Judy Doyle and Bríd Keenan, whose well taken scores made all the difference.Irish Press Sept 10 1963 Final stages 14 July Semi-Final Dublin 3-2 – 3-2 Cork The Mardyke 21 July Semi-Final Replay Dublin 8-4 – 1-0 Cork Parnell Park Semi-Final Antrim 4-6 – 1-3 Galway Craughwell 17 DecemberFinal Dublin 7-3 – 2-5 Antrim Croke Park FFFFFF 87CEEB FFFFFF 87CEEB 000000 DublinFFFFFF FFD700 FFFFFF FFD700 000000 Antrim + Dublin GK 1 Concepta Clarke (Austin Stacks)FB 2 Betty Hughes (CIÉ)RWB 3 Sheila Ware (Eoghan Rua)CB 4 Ally Hussey (Celtic)LWB 5 Kay Lyons (Eoghan Rua)MF 6 Maureen McEvoy (Presentation Terenure Pat)MF 7 Mary Sherlock (Austin Stacks) (0-2)MF 8 Mary Ryan (Austin Stacks)RWF 9 Bríd Keenan (Austin Stacks) (3-0)CF 10 Kay Ryder (Naomh Aoife)LWF 11 Judy Doyle (CIÉ) (2-1)FF 12 Úna O'Connor (Celtic) (Capt) (2-0) + Antrim GK 1 Teresa Kearns (Dunloy) FB 2 Moya Forde (Ahoghill) RWB 3 Margo Kane (St Teresa's Belfast) CB 4 Chris Hughes-O’Boyle (St Malachy's Randalstown)LWB 5 Mairéad McAtamney (Portglenone)MF 6 Betty Smith (Gael Uladh) MF 7 Sue Ward (Deirdre) (Capt) (0-2)MF 8 Leontia Carabine (St Teresa's Belfast) (0-1)RWF 9 Marion Kearns (St Malachy's Randalstown) (1-0)CF 10 Mary Phil Jameson (Ballycastle) (1-1)LWF 11 Marie Laverty (Deirdre)FF 12 Maeve Gilroy (St Malachy's Randalstown) (0-1).
