Substitute Catherine Walsh was the hero of the day, as she scored an injury-time goal to bring her side from a point behind
Marino-based St Vincents pulled away towards the end of the first half as it looked like they were about to end their eighteen year wait for a senior Leinster title.
Points from Thomastown’s Eimear Farrell and Niamh Donnelly helped their side back into the game and set the stage for a thrilling close to affairs.
With just three minutes on the clock plus injury time, St Vincents looked like they might just hold on but it was Walsh who saved the day for the Kilkenny champions and ensured their first Leinster senior title victory.
