Camogie wins for Galway, Kilkenny

Veronica Curtin repeated her heroics from the bench of last week, scoring 1-3 after being sprung in the 48th minute to rescue Galway and earn them a 1-10 to 1-7 victory in the second round of the All-Ireland senior camogie championship.

Fiona Lafferty had been inspirational for the Bannerwomen as they led by three points at the break and a goal from a Chloe Morey penalty meant they were still in front with time running out.

Noel Finn called on the 1995 All-Ireland winner and once again she answered the call, ending a fine move with a blistering shot to the Clare net. She followed up with three points to give the Tribeswomen their second win of the campaign.

Kilkenny had it much easier against Dublin, laying the foundation of their 2-12 to 1-2 success with a strong first half effort.

All the goals came in the first half with Aoife Neary and Áine Fahey scoring for Kilkenny, while Ciara Burgess’ long delivery flew all the way to the net to raise Dublin’s green flag.

Meanwhile, Wexford got the defence of their title back on track after last week’s loss to Galway by beating Cork 0-14 to 1-8, and Tipperary prevailed over Offaly in a thriller, 3-14 to 1-14.
