Cathal Murray was pleased that his Galway side got their Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship campaign off to a winning start against Cork at Kenny Park in Athenry despite a lengthy period of inactivity.

The westerners repeated their league final victory over the Rebels, this time on a margin of 1-12 to 0-12, Siobhán McGrath’s goal and eight points from player of the match Carrie Dolan helping to turn around a three-point interval deficit.
