Camogie final must remain ‘showpiece’

CAMOGIE Association President Liz Howard is adamant that the Gala All-Ireland senior final should take centre stage on Sunday’s Croke Park programme.

The game, in which champions Cork take on a Wexford team chasing its first title since 1975, will follow the All-Ireland U21 final between Dublin and Galway, which has a 2pm start.

Cork manager John Cronin feels that the senior camogie decider should precede the U21 final, on the basis that it would be watched by a bigger crowd. Under the present arrangement, he fears that hurling supporters will leave the stadium in big numbers once their game is over.
