The Walterstown Girls won the Féile 2018 Division Final on Sunday 1st of July in Burren Co Down. After a glorious weekend with temperatures in the high twenties the girls battled their way past three local teams, Skryne, Navan O Mahonys and Senechalstown to claim the coveted shield. The girls also played their guest club for the weekend, Southern Gales (Kerry), as well as Claregalway, and Saval (Down).

Having played their first 3 rounds at home in Walterstown, the girls qualified for the Quarter Finals with a brief trip into Navan to play O'Mahonys in Pairc Tailteann, these two teams faced each other several times in the year, and Walterstown were particularly delighted with the win, after suffering a semi final defeat to O'Mahonys only a few weeks earlier.

A brief respite as the club visited O Briens Bar & Restaurant on Saturday evening for some food before an early start on Sunday, with a trip to Co. Down, where they met and defeated Saval in the semi final before overcoming Senechalstown in the Final.
