Battle on to tip Tipp from top

AS Croke Park underwent a facelift for the weekend festivities, the All-Ireland Camogie Championship was launched in brilliant sunshine yesterday, displaying all the attributes of a sport on the up.

Just as headquarters is being transformed into a concert venue, camogie is a sport that has re-invented itself over the past few years.

Last year’s centenary championship elevated the sport to unprecedented heights, with over 100,000 members and more clubs registered than ever.
