Dublin set to face meet Kilkenny in All-Ireland Camogie Quarter Finals

By Celeste McDonald

This Saturday, all roads lead to Croke Park as Dublin face off against Kilkenny in The Glen Dimplex Camogie All-Ireland Quarter final.

The game throws-in at 12.30pm and will form part of a double header with the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Semi Final clash between Kilkenny and Clare.

The camogie clash is a repeat of this years Leinster Final which saw The Cats win by 0-14 to 1-6.

Dublin’s Emma O’Byrne is really looking forward to Saturday’s clash.

“This is our first quarter final in two years”, she said.

“When Dublin last played in the All-Ireland Quarter Finals in 2022 against Kilkenny it was in Semple Stadium in Thurles.

“To be able to play at Croke Park is amazing, it will be really good to see a crowd on Saturday especially with the double header with the lads”.

Both the camogie games this weekend are double headers with the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Semi Finals.

Speaking at the launch for the quarter finals held this week in Croke Park, Uachtarán/President of the Camogie Association, Brian Molloy, said;

“What a weekend of Hurling and Camogie action we have coming up.

“I really can’t wait and I encourage all the Hurling fans travelling to their semi-finals to make the effort to get to Croke Park early and watch the Camogie games because we have two mouth-watering fixtures.

“Saturday 6th July will see Kilkenny take on Dublin. We can’t forget that at this stage last year Kilkenny were narrowly beaten by last years all Ireland winners Cork.

“Kilkenny definitely want to go (at least!) one better this year – especially in front of their hurling supporters who will be there for their fixture against Clare.

“Meanwhile Dublin have an opportunity to shine in HQ in front of their home supporters and will definitely want to grasp that opportunity.

“On Sunday 7th July, Galway take on last year’s beaten finalists Waterford.

“The Deise will certainly be looking to get themselves back into the finals this year but equally Galway will be looking to recover from a big loss last weekend to Cork.

“Neither of these teams are going to step back on Sunday without giving it their all.

“This one is followed by the Limerick v Cork Hurling semi-final which will undoubtedly also be a cracking fixture.

Again I stress, we are moving towards a single integrated Association which will encompass both Hurling and Camogie equally.

“We really want to see the Hurling supporters get to Croke Park early to support the Camogie players and I am sure that the Camogie supporters on both days will stay on to support the hurlers. Ní neart go chur le chéile.

“Separately we have our Premier Junior quarter-finals also on Saturday 6th July in Clane with Cavan taking on Tyrone and Armagh taking on Roscommon.

“I want to wish all the teams the very best of luck and want to take the opportunity to thank our fantastic sponsor Glen Dimplex for their continued  support of our 2024 Camogie Championship.”
