Tipp camogie feel at home at the top table: 'We expect to perform, we expect more of ourselves'

Over the past seven years, Wexford, Dublin, and Tipperary have lost semi-final against the big three by an aggregate total of 50 points

Tipperary want an extra plate set at camogie’s top table. The Premier women have watched the big three rule for long enough. No longer do they see themselves as inferior.

It is an inescapable blot on the game of camogie that the senior championship has been a three-horse race since Wexford slipped down the pecking order in the years after their 2010-12 All-Ireland three-in-a-row.
