For those unfamiliar with camogie’s topflight spring format, there are six teams in Division 1A. The final comprises the two teams who finish first and second after the five weekends of round-robin action.

Unbeaten Waterford have secured a first-ever final berth with a round to spare. The remaining spot has many admirers. Galway, Kilkenny, Tipperary, and Cork could all end up nabbing it.
