Camogie ‘on a crest of a wave’ with more to come

The record-breaking attendance of 24,730 at Sunday’s camogie finals was one of many highlights of a dizzying day for the sport, but in keeping with expectations for a game that has gone stratospheric in recent times.

In the past year, female sport has enjoyed an explosion of interest. Last September the record attendance of over 50,141 at the ladies’ football finals became the best attended female sporting event in Europe. Some 60,739 watched Atletico Madrid’s women face Barcelona in March.
