Late, late goal means Kilkenny's Thomastown win historic first Leinster title

After an incredible comeback, an injury-time goal was enough to see off Dublin champions St Vincents.

KILKENNY CHAMPIONS THOMASTOWN pulled off an incredible comeback in Parnell Park to win their first Leinster title.

Substitute Catherine Walsh was the hero of the day, as she scored an injury-time goal to bring her side from a point behind

Marino-based St Vincents pulled away towards the end of the first half as it looked like they were about to end their eighteen year wait for a senior Leinster title.

Points from Thomastown’s Eimear Farrell and Niamh Donnelly helped their side back into the game and set the stage for a thrilling close to affairs.

With just three minutes on the clock plus injury time, St Vincents looked like they might just hold on but it was Walsh who saved the day for the Kilkenny champions and ensured their first Leinster senior title victory.

Minutes from the end, Shinrone’s Marian Crean hit the back of the net, leaving just one point between the sides.

Myshall held on however, and scored a further insurance point to set themselves up for the All-Ireland stages of the competition.
