Kilkenny have claimed their 15th All-Ireland senior camogie title at Croke Park today, and their third since 2016 after an epic battle with Cork.
In perfect conditions before a crowd of 23,426 this rip-roaring contest went right down to the wire. As the Irish Examiner reports, overall the sides were tied seven times, but in the end, the winning point fell to Denise Gaule who converted from a placed ball in the 62nd minute.
There was one change to the Cork starting team with Newcestown’s Ciara O’Sullivan replacing attacker Cliona Healy but lining out at centre-back.
The opening 30 minutes was the classic game of two quarters with Laura Treacy and Claire Phelan acting as sweepers. Brian Dowling’s side started like a train, their momentum unstoppable as they fired the first six points without reply.
