The winning game was claimed by Catherine Porter, while Bernie Devlin, Amanda McCarron and Angela de Ward also won their games in the final.
Ann Marie Wilson, Marion McDermott and Kate Bonner were also on the Donegal team
They came through the group phase with wins over Limerick and Leitrim while they lost out to Cork.
