Four-time All-Ireland winner Ashling Thompson is set to make her first appearance for Cork since last year’s All-Ireland senior camogie final one-point defeat to Kilkenny in tomorrow’s All-Ireland championship quarter-final against the same opposition in Croke Park.

The star midfielder, who captained the Rebels to victory in 2015, has recovered from an ACL injury she suffered almost 12 months ago. She was among the subs for the Rebel’s victory over Clare last weekend.
