Wexford jumping for joy

FOR THE most part the sun shone on what was an historic day for camogie at Croke Park yesterday, a memorable one for Wexford but another harrowing experience for Galway.

With the three Gala All-Ireland finals taking place on the one bill for the first time, president Joan O’Flynn had promised a carnival of camogie and the 17,290 who came in through the stiles weren’t disappointed.

Fears that the attendance would drop significantly in the wake of the U21 hurling All-Ireland’s removal proved unfounded and the communications and marketing director of the Camogie Association, Claire Egan was understandably pleased with the turnout.
