Howard happy as ‘hurling family’ doubles up again

CAMOGIE President Liz Howard hopes the GAA will continue to pair their junior and senior finals with the All-Ireland U21 hurling championship decider in Croke Park as they do on Sunday for the third consecutive year.

She believes the arrangement represents the most practical form of integration, between the codes as ‘it brings the hurling family together’ on a very important day for the two associations.

“I think everybody would agree it has been a tremendous success. It has raised the profile of the U21 hurling championship and it has definitely improved the profile of camogie,’’ she said yesterday in Croke Park.
