Fohenagh reached their first county camogie final in 1947, after wins over Tuam, Ballymacward, Ballinasloe Mental Hospital and Caltra. On 16 November 1947 they met Erin's Hope at UCG Park. Erin's Hope still had six county players and were the favourites. They led by two goals early on, and Fohenagh were two points behind at half-time. Brilliant play by Rita Clinton, and a goal by Pauline Hopkins midway through the second half, put Fohenagh a point ahead. They held that lead. The score was Fohenagh 3-1, Erin's Hope 3-0. The team was B. Clinton, L. Madden, M. Barrett, A. Madden, M. Madden (captain), P. Hopkins, R. Clinton, J. Glynn, A. Glynn, M. Farrell, M. Glynn and K. Naughton. The book gives the Connacht Tribune of 16 November 1947 as its source for the final.
