TURNING POINT: Cork bossed this game from start to finish and a goal from full-forward Tara Hickey in the fourth minute handed them a perfect start, after Éabha Curran pointed with just 20 seconds on the watch. SUMMARY:It was six years since Cork had last won the All-Ireland U14 A title, but they became the first winners of the revamped Platinum competition, racking up "The game time for girls was the big plus from this competition. Plenty of games was great but the use of unlimited subs meant that opportunities/experience was given to girls, enriching their experience. Overall, the experience was very positive and the games were well-organised at each venue."
