Belfast club Rossa became the first Ulster team to claim All-Ireland Senior Club Camogie title when they beat Drom & Inch 2-15 to 1-12 in Sunday's final.

Rossa were spearheaded by star forward Jane Adams, who hit an amazing 2-9 in Sunday's decider against the Tipperary outfit at Ashbourne.

Adams picked up Antrim's first ever camogie All Star last weekend.

Adams hit 2-11 in Rossa's 3-18 to 0-6 semi-final hammering of Dublin outfit Ballyboden St Enda's.

Rossa captain Adams described the triumph as the pinnacle of her career.

"I'm so proud and honoured to be part of this Rossa team today," Adams told BBC Sport.

"Looking down on a sea of blue and gold now on the pitch is my dream come true.

"This is why we've been training so hard over the last five years."
