Kilkerrin-Clonberne retain their All-Ireland title with six point win over ... (The Irish Times)

Galway champions prove too strong in All-Ireland women's senior football club final in Croke Park.

“We didn’t want Donaghmoyne to get a lead on us, so we knew we had to get out of the blocks early. We could have taken three or four points in the first half just to keep the scoreboard ticking over. Donaghmoyne rarely looked like getting the goal they needed to ignite their challenge, although the Monaghan and Ulster champions did show trademark spirit with a late flurry of scores from sisters Rosemary and Cora Courtney. Divilly and Miskell stretched the gap to six after the restart and although Cathriona McConnell replied with her only score of the evening, Miskell starred in the final quarter with another couple of points. We’re so thankful to the LGFA and the GAA for making this happen (playing at Croke Park). Willie Ward’s charges dominated possession for most of the game and with Chloe Miskell and Olivia Divilly hitting nine points between them, they had the firepower to finish 2022 with more silverware and spark pre-Christmas celebrations at GAA Headquarters.

Kilkerrin-Clonberne deny Donaghmoyne in decider (BBC Sport)

Holders and favourites Kilkerrin-Clonberne beat five-times champions Donaghmoyne 0-13 to 0-7 in the All-Ireland Ladies Club Football Final.

Divilly's free with seven minutes left was their final score but while Donaghmoyne rallied as two Rosemary Courtney points, were split by a score from sister Cora, Kilberrin-Conberne were never in any danger and they were able to run down the closing in the closing moments of the contest while also introducing several substitutes. Donaghmoyne needed a fast start to the second half but instead, the Galway side extended their advantage after further points from Divilly and Miskell, who particularly shone in the second period. After Ward extended Kilberrin-Conberne's lead, Donaghmoyne had their most encouraging moments of the contest as two Cora Courtney points in a minute cut the margin to two.
