Twinning of camogie and U21 hurling finals ‘absolutely wonderful’

THE President of the Camogie Association, Liz Howard, paid tribute to the GAA for agreeing to Sunday’sdouble-header in Croke Park involving their senior camogie championship decider and the All-Ireland U-21 hurling final.

Cork and Tipperary will be meeting in the camogie final for the seventh time in eight years and Tipperary and Kilkenny will be involved in the hurling game, which is first on the programme.

Former president Sean Kelly and current president Nickey Brennan had both been influential in the decision, but Liz Howard singled out Leinster Chairman Liam O’Neill — the liaison officer between the two bodies — for his special support.
