Antrim powered to their first All-Ireland Intermediate camogie title since 2021 with a 1-22 to 0-11 victory over Laois.<\/b><\/p>\n
Elaine Dowds’ side powered clear in the second period of a game in which they never trailed as they stamped their return to the Senior grade for 2027.<\/p>\n
Roisin McCormick top-scored with 1-11 and her goal in the 40th minute proved to be the game-breaker as Laois – who were Junior champions last year – suddenly found themselves with no way back having been just two behind five minutes earlier.<\/p>\n
It was not just the McCormick show, as Eobha McAllister hit five from play with Meave Kelly hitting three fine scores of her own as the Ulster side raced clear.<\/p>\n
Antrim flew out of the traps with early points by Lucia McNaughton and Eobha McAllister whop both fired just over when there may have been more on offer.<\/p>\n
Laois did settle as Grainne Delaney and a Clodagh Tynan free from deep tied it, but Antrim were looking much more fluid and Roisin McCormick would hit four on the spin including one from play.<\/p>\n
The Leinster side had a sight of goal of their own when Catherine Kirby was played in, but she too couldn’t keep her effort down with McAllister responding immediately at the other end.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
