The Carlow champions triumphed over Meath’s Dee Rangers with an impressive scoreline of 3-11 to 0-12 in a hard-fought final.
Leah Mullins, a standout player for Bennekerry/Tinryland, expressed the team’s collective joy to KCLR following the historic win. “It’s just an amazing feeling, but there’s 31 of us that have that amazing feeling,” she shared.
“We worked so hard, our management prepared us so well for today and every game throughout the championship. Starting from back in Carlow, the whole way through, first round the Leinster, we worked so hard for this moment.”
Mullins highlighted the team’s unity, saying, “I’m just so happy that we all get to celebrate it together as a unit because that’s what we are. Even the people who mightn’t be here are looking down, we’re thinking of those today.”
The victory propels Bennekerry/Tinryland into the All-Ireland semi-final, where they will face the Ulster champions in three weeks.
