TWELVE times a winner herself over the course of a glittering career shared with her twin sister, Ann Downey’s delight in taking Kilkenny back to the Gala All-Ireland senior camogie final after a lapse of seven years is tempered by the awareness of what her young team faces on September 13.

THE Galway team to play Cork in Sunday’s All-Ireland senior camogie final shows two changes from the side which defeated defending champions Wexford in the semi-final.

MEATH recovered from a nine-point deficit in ordinary time only to be denied victory by a late equaliser at the end of extra time in this TG4 Ladies Football All-Ireland quarter-final in Portlaoise on Saturday, and favourites Galway were a very relieved team to survive.
