Galway 2-13

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.

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.

There was disappointment for the Kilkenny senior camogie girls as they were caught by a late Galway flurry in Nowlan Park last Sunday as their league hopes were ended. Kilkenny led by four points at the interval —1-6 to 0-5 and a 45th minute goal from Shelley Farrell followed by a close range free by Aoife Neary restored that four point gap.

What a day of Camogie to look forward to this Saturday! The four best teams in the land will be going to battle in Nowlan Park as the prestigious prize of the O’Duffy Cup awaits.

It was all one way traffic as expected as Kilkenny easily negotiated their semi-final passage with a landslide 32-point drubbing of the Dubs at a wet and miserable Nowlan Park last Saturday.
