The 2012 Ashbourne Cup inter-collegiate camogie championship was staged at the Waterford IT sports complex in Carraiganore[1] over the weekend of February 18–19. It was won for the fourth time in succession by Waterford Institute of Technology, after defeating University of Limerick in the final by ten points[2] after UL's semi-final victory over Waterford's opponents in the 2010 and 2011 finals. Player of the tournament was WIT's Katrina Parrock.

The Final

The turning point in the final arrived midway through the second half when All Ireland medallist midfielder Katrina Parrock switched into full forward and made no scored a goal from close range. Kilkenny attacker Marie Dargan added a second goal three minutes later. Waterford IT then pulled away with four unanswered points. Their Waterford IT forward line consisted of five Kilkenny county players.

Arrangements

The format was changed for the 2012 competition. In the final stages of the competition, six teams were divided into two groups of three in which each team plays two matches. The top two in each group went through to the cup semi finals while the bottom team in each group played in the final of the Ashbourne Shield. UL defeated University College Cork in the semi final by 0–10 to 1–5 and WIT defeated UCD 3–12 to 2–4. UUJ won the Ashbourne Shield defeating NUIG 2–13 to 3–9 with goals from Karen Kielt and Captain Sara Louise Carr.

Purcell Cup

The Purcell Cup was also re-formatted to a six-team competition and won by Dublin City University for the first time. DCU beat NUIM 5–12 to 1–6 and defending Purcell Cup champions Queens University Belfast defeated Dublin Institute of Technology 4–9 to 0–4 in the semi-finals. Goals from Aoife Bugler, Catriona Regan, Orlaith Durkan and Emma Brennan the helped Dublin City University to a 4–7 to 0–4 victory over Queen's in the Purcell Cup final. In the Ashbourne Shield University of Ulster Jordanstown recorded a thrilling 2–13 to 3–9 win over National University of Ireland Galway. Denise Luby scored 3–4 as Cork Institute of Technology were 4–11 to 0–2 winners in the Purcell Shield final against Athlone IT.

Fr Meachair Cup

Previously a sevens tournament, the Fr Meachair Cup was re-formatted as a third division inter-collegiate competition in 2012 and played in Waterford's De La Salle pitch over the Ashbourne weekend. Naomi Carroll scored ten points for Mary Immaculate College as they achieved a 0–15 to 0–3 win over St Patrick's College, Drumcondra in the Fr Meachair Cup final. [3] In the Fr Meachair Cup semi-finals, St Patrick's College (2–8) defeated Trinity College (1–3) and Mary Immaculate College (3–10) defeated IT Carlow (0–4). St Mary's Belfast defeated IT Tralee 3–6 to 3–4 in the Fr Meachair Shield decider.
