Galway camogie coach Donal O’Rourke is certainly hard at work these days. The former Waterford senior hurler is balancing his time between coaching the Tribeswomen who play All-Ireland senior (versus Tipperary) and intermediate (versus Antrim) championship semi-finals this weekend, and coaching Cork Premier senior hurling side Erin’s Own.

While it is his second season with the Cork club who face county champions Blackrock this day fortnight, the Cappoquin native explains how and why he joined Galway manager Cathal Murray’s backroom team.
