Galway and Cork make it through

Galway and Cork joined Wexford and Kilkenny in the Liberty Insurance All-Ireland senior camogie championship semi-finals after a day of huge drama at the Gaelic Grounds-

There was never much between holders Galway and Clare in their much-anticipated clash. Tony Ward’s crew took the lead early thanks to Niamh McGrath but it was nip and tuck and a brace of pointed frees by Claire McMahon soon pushed the League runners-up ahead.

That lead didn’t last long though and Emma Kilkelly pounced for a 15th minute goal to edge Galway ahead again. McGrath and McMahon exchanged a couple of scores and it was 1-6 to 0-6 at half-time.
