Cork pull away from Kilkenny to all but secure league final place

Kilkenny are not yet mathematically out of relegation danger

While it isn’t a mathematical certainty, Cork more or less booked their place in the Division 1A final of the Very Camogie League for the second consecutive season with a 0-23 to 1-10 victory over Kilkenny at UPMC Nowlan Park today.

The Rebels made it four from four against the team that defeated them in last year’s All-Ireland final and while next weekend’s opposition Galway, who denied them in the League decider 12 months ago, and Tipperary can join them on 12 points at the top of the table, they would need to suffer a 19-point reverse to miss out.
