Aoife Prendergast: 'Supporters don't have to choose between hurling and the camogie anymore'

Whereas their male counterparts are once again locking horns with Clare for a spot in the forthcoming Liam MacCarthy showpiece this Saturday (3pm), Kilkenny’s camogie outfit are hoping to avoid a second consecutive quarter-final reversal when they take on provincial rivals Dublin (12.30pm)

Prendergast lifts the O’ Duffy Cup for Kilkenny

Aoife Prendergast has called on Kilkenny supporters to get behind the county’s camogie side for their All-Ireland senior championship game at Croke Park on Saturday.

For the second season in succession, this weekend will see both of the Noresiders’ small ball teams playing as part of a championship double-header in GAA HQ. Before the Kilkenny hurlers claimed a place in the All-Ireland senior decider with victory against Clare on July 9 of last year, their camogie equivalents agonisingly lost out by the slenderest of margins to Cork in a nail-biting curtain-raiser at the north Dublin venue.
