Galway got their defence of the Liberty Insurance All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship underway with a swashbuckling performance against a gritty Wexford to prevail by 5-17 to 3-9 in their Group 1 tie at Bellefield.

It was a good day too for the semi-finalists of the past two campaigns Tipperary, who shrugged off the second-half dismissal of Aisling Moloney to record a 0-20 to 1-8 Group 3 triumph over Clare at The Ragg.
