Galway manager Cathal Murray hailed the spirit of his squad of players, as the points from Carrie Dolan and Ailish O’Reilly in the seventh and ninth minutes of injury time snatched victory from Waterford’s grasp in dramatic fashion, on a 0-13 to 0-12 scoreline at Loughrea.

With Cork trundling to a 1-15 to 1-6 triumph over Clare at Páirc Uí Rinn, thanks to Hannah Looney’s goal early in the second half, and Tipperary maintaining their brilliant form of recent weeks with a comfortable 2-12 to 1-6 win over Kilkenny at UPMC Nowlan Park by virtue of goals from, it looks like next weekend’s clash between the Tribeswomen and the Rebels will be winner-takes-all with a place in the Division 1A Very Camogie League final up for grabs. A draw would be enough for Galway however, who have a superior score difference.
