Galway's 'team of leaders' ready for Cork challenge in All Ireland final

Róisín Black is expecting Cork to pose a "really difficult" challenge the Glen Dimplex All-Ireland senior camogie championship final on Sunday.

However, the Galway captain said the Tribeswomen have a "team of leaders" who will be ready to step up and give it their best shot.

Galway are returning to Croke Park for the All Ireland final for the first time since overcoming the Rebels three years ago.

Cork meanwhile, are defending champions having beaten Waterford last year, and have also appeared in every final in the last four years.

Black told RTÉ Sport: "Whenever we play Cork, they're really intense games and it really comes down to the wire.

"We know that Cork are a great team and they're going to be raring to go to get back-to-back All Irelands, so we know that’s going to be a really difficult challenge ahead of us.

"But we’re going to focus on ourselves and give it our best shot as well."

An impressive late show in the semi-final against Tipperary at UPMC Nowlan Park last month carried Galway across the finish line and into their first final in three years.

"We never gave up, we dug out in the dying moments of the game, that showed the great character of our team, great experience as well. It was a great performance in the end," the Oranmore Maree defender said.

Two frees from Carrie Dolan either side of an equalising point from Aoife Donohue gave the Tribeswomen the win over Tipp by a single point.

"We're lucky that we have a team of leaders. The last day the likes of Niamh Mallon, Niamh Kilkenny, Dervla Higgins, Carrie Dolan, they all stepped up.

"I could name a lot more other girls but we're very lucky we have a team of leaders and everyone steps up when needed," Black said.
