Cork moved to the top of Group 2 of the Liberty Insurance All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship with a 4-15 to 2-3 win over Dublin at Páirc Uí Rinn that will strike fear in the hearts of future opposition.

Kilkenny issued a clear warning to any pretenders to their Liberty Insurance All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship crown that they still have what it takes to go all the way.

Kilkenny, Tipperary, Wexford and Offaly make the quarter-finals.

Cork 1-10 Clare 0-6: Cork have enjoyed countless close tussles with Clare in the past few seasons and it was more of the same for the All-Ireland champions at the Cork Camogie Grounds on Saturday. Paudie Murray’s side lost to the Bannerwomen in the semi-final of last year’s league but on this occasion, they held the upper hand to bag a first-round win.
