Wexford out to avenge league defeat to Cork

There is no debate about which of the weekend’s All-Ireland senior camogie championship games will generate the most comment.

Wexford host Cork at the Rapparees’ Bellefield grounds this afternoon (3.15pm), with the memory of having their league four-in-a-row bid scuppered by the Leesiders last month still fresh in their minds.

Karen Atkinson makes no attempt to mask that disappointment. Much like Kilkenny’s hurlers, they know the importance of inflicting psychological scars on their nearest rivals in particular.

“It was a major disappointment” said the Wexford captain. “It was going well in the first half, everything was going according to plan but Cork came out in the second half and put us back in our corner.

“We didn’t play to our potential but it was an unusual position for us. We were going for four-in-a-row but it was a bad ending.”
