The 1953 All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship was the high point of the 1953 season in Camogie. The championship was won by Dublin who defeated Tipperary by a 22-point margin in the final.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]

Structure

London could not travel to the All Ireland semi-final against Tipperary in Roscrea. No Connacht county entered the championship.

Final

Kathleen Mills had one of her best games, the Nenagh Guardian reported. Her long left handed drives brought about many of Dublin's goals. Dublin hit Tipperary with two goals in the first three minutes, led 5-2 to 0-3 at half time, and scored three more goals early in the second half. Kathleen Griffin’s goal for Tipperary midway through the second half drew a loud cheer from what was described as a “fair sized attendance.” [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]
