    In a sad sign of the times, theres a gofund me page set up for the Kilkenny senior team.

    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.

    Tough on the girls when it comes to the big day. They have to raise monies to cover gear and expenses.
    Don't forget camogie isn't under the GAA umbrella(by their own choice).

    The girls doing very well this year considering injuries/absentees

    Fun breakdown here of Kilkenny’s performance in their last group game. Nice to have it compared to the usual GAA thing of just puckouts and shots.

    Them vs Cork in the semis should be a great game.

    This is very good. Who does it

    Definitely sounded more like up the Ra. Not sure what the RA had to do with their victory and stupidity of recording it and releasing it on social media.

    Really fancy Kilkenny for the final to be honest. 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.

    Kilkenny tried to smother them last year. They played very defensive, (especially off Galway POs) with only 4 forwards for most of the game. 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

    It’s all down to how KK defend tbh. If they defend well they’ll win it. They play deep in general anyway.

    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.

    Brian Dowling was coach last year and presume he was responsible for setting up the gameplan.
    Just think that Cork are far from the force they were a couple of years ago, without Cotter, an ageing Gemma and a quiet Thompsom for most of game and still they had KKs number, just couldn't score.
    But yeah if KK defend well, they'll have a great chance, but they can't let Galway walk through for goals like last year.

    Hello all. Just curious if the match will be streamed anywhere or available for purchase. I'm in the states so no RTE etc. But do have access to Irish servers via my VPN provider so geo-restrictions aren't an issue. Been looking forward to this one. Thx.

    Still leaning on KK but should be tight. Thinking lower scoring-side of things too

    Camogie association's website says Facebook! No RTE, only has the semi's. I've no Facebook account so out of luck for viewing. camogie should stick w/YouTube. it's not like they're beating away crowds of fans during the best of times. They don't make it easy for overseas fans.

    Any radio station someone can point me to. I hate scrambling @ the last second. thax again
