A third Cork-Galway final in five years. The only pairing that guarantees a competitive final. The only pairing that guarantees Cork will not coast to three-in-a-row. The only pairing that brings the absolute best out of Galway.

This is the final camogie wanted, needed. Whatever about desperately one-sided League deciders or early summer non-events, whenever Cork and Galway pitch up at Croke Park together, they usually go to the wire together.
