Arrangements edit
For the second season the National League was played on an experimental basis with 15-a-side in advance of camogie moving to the 15-a-side game in 1999. Tipperary, who had won the Intermediate Championship in 1996, entered the senior league to gain some experience of playing at this level and defeated Wexford, Kildare, Clare and surprised Kilkenny 4-8 to 2-7 in the semi-final to reach their first final since the 1976-77 season. Deirdre Hughes scored 3-3 and Noelle Kennedy 1-8 in the semi-final. Galway pulled off a surprise in the other semi-final as two first half goals by Olivia Broderick gave them the platform to defeat Cork by 5-10 to 2-6.
The Final edit
Galway opened up an early 0-4 to 0-1 lead in the sunshine in the final before Noelle Kennedy put the sides level with a well taken goal for Tipeperary.[3][4][5][6][7] The sides were level four times between then and half time when the score was Galway -0-7 Tipperary 1-4. Galway broke clear at the beginning of the second half and opened up a five-point lead through two points by Sharon Glynn and a goal by Imelda Hobbins.
