Camogie chief praises final boost

Playing the Division 1 camogie league final as part of a prestigious double-header with the hurling decider at Semple Stadium on Sunday will be a massive boost to the women’s code.

So says the chief executive of the Camogie Association, Sinéad O’Connor, who is certain that the sport will benefit from being in the shop window on such a significant stage.

“It follows on from the launch of the National Hurling Plan earlier in the year in that we’re trying to grow the two together,” said O’Connor yesterday.
