All six of the Tipperary forwards got their names on the scoreboard as the juniors captured the county's second All-Ireland Camogie title in Croke Park yesterday.
Their win completed the first leg of a historic double as Tipperary joined Cork as winners of both junior and senior titles in the same year.
The wind, though difficult to deal with, was partially in Offaly's favour in the first half but they had a disastrous start, conceding two goals in the first five minutes, with Lena Woods and Louise Young the scorers.
Offaly then attempted to curb their opponents' influence by condensing the midfield but by half time they were already trailing 2-9 to 0-4.

WOMEN'S FOOTBALL: Despite a determined second-half fight-back by Tyrone, Laois deservedly earned a place in the All-Ireland final with a 3-10 to 2-6 victory.
The Leinster women laid the groundwork for their success during a five-minute period in the first half when they notched up 2-2 without reply, to set up a final meeting against Mayo in two weeks' time.
But Tyrone were not going to give in that easily and in a tremendous second-half fightback they steadily cut into the lead, reducing it to four points at one stage.
But the damage had been done and the Ulster champions were unable to make up the deficit.
Player of the match Margaret Phelan was a tower of strength in the midlanders' defence, which was breached twice by Lisa McGirr and Catriona Murphy
SCORERS: Laois - M Kirwan 2-5, K O'Reilly 1-0, S Ramsbottom 0-3, M Casey, T Lawlor 0-1 each; Tyrone - C Murphy 1-2, L McGirr 1-1, S McGirr, L Hughes, C McCullagh 0-1 each
