With Leinster and Cork unaffiliated, there were just four entrants for the championship. Tipperary beat Kerry 3-4 to nil in Cahir. Clare beat Tipperary 2-2 to 1-1 in Nenagh and had a bye from unaffiliated Cork in the final to win the Munster championship. Galway beat Mayo 5-0 to 2-1 in the Connacht final at Coyne’s field in Westport.
Clare then took and lost a six-point lead against Galway in the All Ireland semi-final with goals from Mary Mulcahy and Nora Donnelly, then led again through another two goals from Sadlier and O’Donnell before goals from Kitty Greally and Josie Melvin and a point from Rita Clinton gave Galway victory. Dublin beat Wicklow in the final of an alternative Leinster championship.
