Just to hammer home the disparity if funding between hurling and camogie, the Kilkenny camogie board have set up a page to cover the costs associated with reaching the final. Heres the link if anyone wants to donate.

Galway were fairly toothless against a relatively poor Tipperary side (in my opinion) From the below PDF, if Kilkenny can smother Galway inside their 45m line, Galway will really struggle for scores ...and as always; I can't ever explain enough how low a percentage play the 'long' puckout is.https://twitter.com/NicheSportsData/status/1336326092727074819? s=20

Looked ideal setup but they defended very poorly and didn't hurl well in general. Did well to get through Vs Cork without scoring for last 21 mins?? I wouldn't write them off but I think they'll be under severe pressure

KK new manager this year so I wouldn’t be using last year’s final as a perfect sample. Can’t be any write-offs as the match is rightly 50/50 in betting terms but if I was to lean on the 50/50 it would be to KK. Galway very leaky for fouls too and Denise Gaule’s free scoring rate is ridic impressive. In their semi against Cork, they held Cork to just 0-08 after the seven minute mark so it wasn’t about KK needing to score for a finish. When they had the lead they just needed to hold Cork off which they did well.
