Arrangements The championship was organised on the traditional provincial system used in Gaelic Games since the 1880s, with Glenamaddy and Eglish winning the championships of the other two provinces.
The Final The final was a low-scoring affair, played in torrential rain, icy wind and a surface that cut up badly. In the sixth minute of the second half. Ann Downey sent a free into the square that was only partially cleared and which was quickly returned to the unmarked Breda Holmes who palmed it to the net.Report of final in Irish Press, November 9, 1987Report of final in Irish Independent, November 9, 1987Report of final in Irish Times, November 9, 1987
