Dublin keen to set record straight in Ennis

Following Offaly's dramatic victory over Wexford in last Saturday's opener, Group 2 of the Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship steps up a level this weekend.

Clare meet Dublin at Zimmer Biomet Páirc Chíosóg today (2pm). These sides met in last month's Centra Camogie League Division 1B final, with the Banner prevailing 3-11 to 0-17.

Eugene Foudy's side gave a strong account of themselves in the Munster Championship, taking Waterford to extra-time. Given that they fell to the Déise by 10 points last summer, Clare are clearly moving in the right direction.

The in-form Lorna McNamara led the charge in the springtime showpiece, notching 2-6, and Clare will be hoping for more of the same from their sharpshooter.

Dublin looked to put the defensive lapses of that league final defeat in the rear-view mirror, as they made their way through the Leinster Championship. Wins over Offaly and Carlow saw them through to the provincial decider, but a commanding nine-point half-time lead over Wexford ultimately evaporated, as the Model County snatched victory in extra-time.

Bill McCormack's outfit will be gunning to set the record straight in Ennis, after a frustrating few weeks.

Broadcast live on the Camogie Association’s YouTube channel today will be Kilkenny v Limerick at 3:30pm in UPMC Nowlan Park.

Kilkenny suffered a shock defeat to Wexford in the Leinster Championship semi-final, but will see themselves as frontrunners in Group 2 over the coming weeks.

It has been difficult to get a read on this Treaty outfit thus far in 2026. A mixed league saw them narrowly miss out on a Division 1B final spot, but they then endured a heavy Munster semi-final defeat at the hands of eventual-winners Tipperary.

They will be looking to make a statement on Noreside.

The 2025 semi-finalists are seeded in Group 1, which kicks off in a fortnight.
