Kilkenny 2-16

For long periods the outcome was in doubt, but in the end Kilkenny turned on the style as they crucified the Tipperary challenge.

Galway Ladies Football are celebrating more success after the Claregalway u-14s were crowned All Ireland champions and the Galway minors captured the John Millar Minor Connacht trophy.

Wexford 1-14

In truth it was not the most memorable contest as Kilkenny got the job done easing to an unconvincing victory over a very weak Dublin challenge at a rain and windswept Thomastown last Saturday afternoon. Severe showers preceded the game but thankfully the rain stayed away throughout. Kilkenny, playing into a strong first-half breeze, made a whirlwind blitzing start, and Dublin appeared to have a long afternoon ahead of them as Kilkenny led 2-0 to 0-1 after just six minutes.

It had the potential of a downfall, but Kilkenny were always in control and they safely steered to a 12-point victory over a gallant Offaly as the All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship got under way.

Kilkenny 5-17

Kilkenny under-16 camogie girls easily regained their Leinster title as they defeated Dublin at a sun-drenched Tom Ryall Park, Kilmanagh, last Sunday afternoon. It was an efficient, disciplined, and workmanlike display from Kilkenny, who surged clear during the second-half, as the switching of Miriam Walsh had a decisive effect. Walsh scored 1-2 in the second-half — 1-4 in total as they killed off the hopes of the Metropolitan girls.

Nowlan Park is the setting next Sunday afternoon, when the Irish Daily Star National Camogie league semi-finals take place. Kilkenny are first in the arena at 2pm against Galway, followed at 3.45pm by Tipperary’s clash with defending League/All-Ireland champions Wexford.

A memorable weekend for Kilkenny was rounded off in Tom Ryall Park, Kilmanagh last Sunday afternoon as Kilkenny seniors and intermediates completed a superb weekend for camogie in the county.
