“The adrenaline is going so much,” said O’Donnell.

“I am so thrilled for this wonderful bunch of young women, who have brought home this pennant.

“To get to an All-Ireland final in Elm Park’s centenary year, this is the first time we have ever been in a Senior Foursomes final, and to win it is magnificent.

“14 players in total got us this far, we had ten of them playing over the last two days. They have just delivered with such style, such tenacity, it’s wonderful. It’s been a pleasure to work with them.

“Naturally we are all delighted we are victorious. Some of these girls are out tomorrow again in the Senior Cup finals. We wish them all the best and we hope we are celebrating again with them on Sunday.”

The AIG Women’s and Men’s Senior Cups take centre stage at Douglas tomorrow, and it was Warrenpoint who picked up the second All-Ireland title on offer this weekend.

They defeated Muskerry in their quarter-final before a win against County Louth in the semi-finals, and on Friday the club who went back-to-back in 2016 and 2017, were up against Grange.

The experienced duo of Colm Campbell (now a five time Barton Shield winner) and Rian Carvill secured victory with a par on 17 that gave Warrenpoint a three-hole aggregate win.
