ALL IRELAND CAMOGIE FINAL
Congratulations to Waterford Senior Camogie on qualifying for our first All-Ireland Senior Camogie Final since 1945, after a hard-fought win over Tipperary in the semifinal played in miserable conditions Nolan Park, Kilkenny. After a slow start, Waterford emerged victorious by the narrowest of margins, 1-12 o 1-11, with our own Beth Carton deservedly crowned Player of the Match. A big well done to the Waterford Senior Camogie Management team & squad but especially Brianna O’ Regan (0-1 F), Keeley Corbett Barry, Beth Carton (0-8, 4F), Abby Flynn( 0-2) and Niamh Murphy. Great to see so much De La Salle support at the game and look forward to seeing you all in Croke Park on 6th August for the Final.
