Ger Manley’s side were crowned back-to-back champions this evening.
Cork successfully defended their All-Ireland senior camogie title with a hard-fought 1-16 to 0-16 win over Galway this evening.
They Rebels retained the O’Duffy Cup in stunning fashion: in six championship games before the final, their average winning margin was 19 points. Wexford were the only team to get within single digits , while they beat Galway by 12 points at Páirc Uí Chaoimh along the way.“I know people will say we weren’t tested, but lookit, we beat what’s in front of us,” Manley reflected.
Cork's Amy O’Connor is challenged by Rachael Hanniffy of Galway. Tom Maher / INPHO Tom Maher / INPHO / INPHO “The biggest thing is we were trying to get them steady. We needed to win a puckout, we played into their hands a small bit. We went back to the process we had, we work the ball so once we get the ball into our hands we’re dangerous, but we were going 50/50 on puckouts which isn’t great.3. Cork’s bench press and experience key
“Katrina pulled her hamstring before she got the goal, she went on but we had to take her off, then McCartan came on and her ankle is like a balloon inside, she played on,” Manley revealed, recounting how they coped with other injury losses like Libby Coppinger and Meabh and Gráinne Cahalane throughout the year.The former Cahalane also had an impact off the bench, as she returned in six weeks from an injury that could haven taken three months. Their depth — and fitness — was striking.
Dempsey — refereeing her second All-Ireland final after the 2021 meeting of these counties — had a great first half as she let the game flow, but the Kilkenny official will be questioned for some second-half calls against Galway.“It’s hard to put into words,” Murray began his post-match press conference. He was overcome with emotion at one point.“Obviously, bitterly disappointed. It’s gutting. Super proud of the girls.
