Cork camogie captain Linda Collins happy to play her part from the start or bench

Central to Paudie Murray's selection conversations will be whether to include Collins from the off or hold her until the second half

Cork camogie captain Linda Collins has said she would “love” to start Sunday’s All-Ireland final, but won’t mind if her role is to again impact proceedings from off the bench.

Collins started and scored in Cork’s opening two championship games this summer, but found herself on the bench for the county’s final Group 2 fixture against Waterford. That was also where she began last Sunday week’s All-Ireland semi-final, despite having been named in the starting team released two days before the game.
