Camogie chief: we can seize our day in Croker

CAMOGIE president Joan O’Flynn is hopeful the game will benefit from their standalone All-Ireland finals at Croke Park.

Traditionally camogie and the U21 hurling championship decider shared the billing at GAA headquarters each September. But this weekend, the showdowns have been split over two days – the hurlers of Galway and Tipperary facing off in Thurles on Saturday with the Gala junior, intermediate and senior showdowns dominating the Jones Road programme the next day.

O’Flynn also expressed delight at the decision of officials from the competing counties not to fix high profile domestic games on Sunday.
