The All-Ireland Camogie finals are here! The Senior final is a repeat of last year’s thrilling contest, as Cork and Galway face off again this Sunday evening for the coveted O’Duffy Cup. Cork narrowly edged Galway in the 2024 final, winning by just a goal, and Galway will be eager to avenge that defeat.
Cork is aiming for a remarkable achievement, having reached their fifth consecutive final. After losing to Galway in 2021 and Kilkenny in 2022, they secured the O’Duffy Cup in 2023 (against Waterford) and again in 2024, defeating Galway. They now hope to complete a three-in-a-row. Cork has been dominant throughout the championship and look to continue their form this Sunday, but Galway hopes to cause an upset.
