The 1957 Gael Linn Cup is a representative competition for elite level participants in the women's team field sport of camogie, was won by Leinster, who defeated Munster in the final, played at Cahir.[1][2]
Arrangements
Munster defeated Connacht, 2–1 to 1–2, and Leinster defeated Ulster 4–0 to 2–0 at Parnell Park in the semi-finals.. On a miserably cold and wet afternoon in Cahir, Leinster won their second title by 5–1 to 3–1.[3][4][5][6][7] It was a step in securing the future of the fledgeling competition. Agnes Hourigan wrote in the Irish Press:
It was only in the last five minutes that Leinster got on top in a game which produced play of a high standard despite an almost continuous downpour. The standard of play and the opportunity to see players who would not have the opportunity to play in an Al-Ireland final were enough to silence those who doubted the wisdom of inter-provincial camogie.
