Tipperary goalkeeper Lauren Fitzpatrick was one of Ballymacarbry's stars when they won the Munster Club Ladies Senior Football title for the second year in a row, beating Banner Ladies from Clare by 2-13 to 1-9 in the final in Mallow.
Inter county player Bríd McMaugh hit seven points for her side in a player of the match performance, but she was pushed all the way for the prize by goalkeeper Lauren Fitzpatrick, who made a number of fantastic saves throughout the course of the game to keep the Clare champions at bay.
