Galway 0-16 Kilkenny 2-8Galway served a notice of intent for the summer with a first national title since 2015 by surviving a determined Kilkenny comeback in the Littlewoods Ireland Camogie League Division One Final. Cathal Murray’s crew were irresistible in that opening period, running the Kilkenny defence ragged. The westerners were not to be denied however, Healy, Sarah Dervan and Emma Helebert among those commanding the trenches.

Galway: Sarah Healy; Shauna Healy, S Dervan, H Cooney; T Kenny, E Helebert, L Ryan; AM Starr, A Donohue (0-3); N Kilkenny (0-2), A O’Reilly (0-1), N McGrath; C Dolan (0-8, seven frees), N Hanniffy (0-2), N Coen.
