The day began with the Junior final between another set of Munster neighbours, Clare and Tipperary.
Tipperary got the better start, scoring 1-3 in the opening 15 minutes while Clare battled to find their feet.
The Banner's tide change came quickly, however, with a goal in the 18th minute putting them on the board for the first time in the game and kick-starting their attack.
Clare pulled even twice just before the break, with the half-time whistle blown with the score at 1-5 apiece.
After the restart, Clare made amends, and were first out of the gates to put themselves into a 3-7 to 1-8 lead midway through the second half.
One last point was all Tipp had left in the tank, ending the game in a four-point win for Clare, 3-7 to 1-9.
The Intermediate final was the closest encounter of the day, with nothing able to separate Derry and Meath by the final whistle.
The counties were on an even footing for much of first half, but the Ulster women built up a seven-point lead by half-time, 1-8 to 1-1.
But Meath surged back to life with another goal. Having held Derry to just one point in the second half, a rally of points for the Royals pulled them level by the final whistle, ending the game on 2-6 to 1-9 and sending the game to a replay.
