Orla O’Dwyer to line out for Tipperary camogie team but will miss ladies football game on the same day

The Tipperary ladies footballers requested their semi-final be put back a week to avoid O’Dwyer having to choose between codes, but when this request was not acceded to, the football management took the decision out of O’Dwyer’s hands and released her to play camogie this Saturday.

Dual player Orla O’Dwyer will line out for the Tipperary camogie team this Saturday, but will miss the county’s last-four ladies football game on the same day as no reprieve to the All-Ireland semi-final fixtures clash could be found.

The Tipperary ladies footballers are in All-Ireland intermediate semi-final action this Saturday, against Sligo, at Nowlan Park (3pm), with the Tipperary camogie side taking on Kilkenny in the All-Ireland senior semi-final at LIT Gaelic Grounds (5.30pm).
