Galway seasoned by longer route to All-Ireland Senior Camogie semi-final

Galway manager Mark Dunne has admitted that he wanted to take the direct route to the Liberty Insurance All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship semi-final but having had to come through a quarter-final with Tipperary, Dunne hopes it will give his side an advantage over opponents Cork.

Dunne accepts that Corkdeserve to be favourites on the strength of their form not just this year but over a prolonged period.

He believes, however, that his charges are improving all the time and will have benefited from defeating Tipperary comprehensively at Semple Stadium on Saturday.
