Title number four for Galway in the All-Ireland senior camogie championship this afternoon in Croke Park, making up for the disappointment of last year’s defeat. A pulsating encounter that was only decided in the closing few minutes.

Galway, trailing by a point with eight minutes remaining, surged clear when Siobhan McGrath found the net in the 56th minute. It was a superb finish, Ailish O’Reilly's run through the middle setting up the Sarsfields. attacker. And despite tremendous pressure from Cork who cut the margin to one, Galway finished strong with two long-range points from Orlaith McGrath.
