Cork’s Laura Hayes and Aoife Healy tackles Katie Power of Kilkenny 

Galway manager, Cathal Murray revealed the delicate balancing act faced by teams as they commence the Very Camogie Leagues but admitted to being pleased that many of the boxes had been ticked as his side got the defence of their Division 1A title under way with a 0-17 to 0-8 defeat of Clare in Ennis.

Niamh Niland shone brightly on her first competitive start for the Tribeswomen, shooting four points from play.
