The 1966 Gael Linn Cup is a representative competition for elite level participants in the women's team field sport of camogie, was won by Munster, who defeated Leinster in the final, played at Ballinlough.[1][2]
Arrangements[edit]
Leinster defeated Connacht by 3–6 to 1–0 at Naas. Munster defeated Ulster 7–3 to 1–4 at Carrickmacross. All the Dublin players, except Kay Ryder, made themselves unavailable for the Gael-Linn final at Ballinlough and two goals from Bernie Maloney helped Munster win by 4–2 to 1–3.[3][4][5][6][7]
Agnes Hourigan wrote in the Irish Press:
There was little doubt of Munster's supremacy against Leinster, who lacked the experience to match their opponents.
