Champions Cork impress while Kilkenny and Limerick also open camogie championship campaign with wins

Kilkenny turned around their National League final reverse at the hands of Galway coming out two-point winners in their championship opener today.

All-Ireland champions Cork cruised to a 3-19 to 0-9 triumph over Clare in Sixmilebridge. The Banner were well in the game at half time, trailing by just 1-6 to 0-5 after Katrina Mackey’s 19th minute goal had the champions ahead.

It was one-way traffic after the resumption though, Ger O’Connell’s charges having no answer to the scoring power of Paudie Murray’s team, with Mackey and Linda Collins adding goals and Cork recording 10 individual scorers.
