She took a big hit towards the end of yesterday’s All-Ireland senior camogie final, but Ashling Thompson wasn’t going to give in at that stage. The Cork captain had a cup to collect and a speech to give, after all.

Cork will never tire of winning All-Irelands, that’s for sure. This must be the sweetest of all because this is a Rebel team that lost so many quality players from last season. But here they never flinched. Not once. They led from pillar to post. They dominated, coming away with their 26th title, equalling Dublin’s record at the top of the roll of honour.

Here’s the scenario that you didn’t want to see if you were a Galway camogie fan yesterday in Croke Park.

Cork 1-13 Galway 0-9: Not bad going for a team supposedly in transition.
