Having succumbed narrowly to Leitrim in last year’s decider, it was Tyrone’s turn to celebrate on the biggest day of the year as they finished the contest strongly to deservedly secure the Mary Quinn Memorial Cup for the first time since their sole success in 2018. Tyrone enjoyed a 1-7 to 1-5 interval lead with Horisk’s 27th minute goal cancelling out an equally superb finish from Laois’ Shifra Havill four minutes previously. There was little to separate the teams throughout a nervy second half but the decisive moment arrived in the 54th minute as Muldoon left Laois goalkeeper Eimear Barry helpless with a shot from close range. It was Tyrone that seized the early initiative through points from Sorcha Gormley and Cara McCrossan before Laois struck back to level parity by the fourth minute courtesy of scores from Jane Moore and Emma Lawlor. Lawlor edged Laois in front in the seventh minute, immediately after their corner-back Faye McEvoy had produced a superb goal line clearance at the opposite end, with parity restored soon after through a Niamh O’Neill free. Parity continued as Emily Lacey and Aoife Horisk (free) traded points by the end of the first quarter with the Ulster county re-establishing their two-point advantage thanks to Sláine McCarroll and the lively Gormley.

Frustration continued for Tyrone in the 26th minute as Gormley was denied from the penalty spot following a foul on Horisk, but the latter made no mistake a minute later as she drilled home from ten yards to edge her side two points clear by half-time. Laois wasted little time in getting back on level terms as Mo Nerney and Fiona Dooley both scored within three minutes of the restart. Crucially, Laois were unable to get in front as this time as O’Neill (free) and Horisk responded for Tyrone, with the latter becoming increasingly influential as the contest evolved. The same could be said for Nerney, who added two points in quick succession to bring Laois to within a point by the 43rd minute. However, their momentum stalled ten minutes from time as Ciara Crowley was yellow-carded and O’Neill’s subsequent free helped double Tyrone’s advantage. The contest was effectively settled as Muldoon followed up well to net after fellow substitute Emer McCanny had been denied and they pulled away by the final whistle thanks to insurance points from O’Neill, Gormley and captain Aoibhinn McHugh.
