All Ireland Camogie Finals

Senior

Cork v Kilkenny, Croke Park, 4.15pm

Familiar foes collide once more at Croke Park. A third final meeting in as many years carries intrigue, especially considering Kilkenny prevailed in 2016 and Cork in 2017.

Theese are good times for Cork, who have won three of the last four crowns, but the Kilkenny challenge will be treated with the utmost repect.

April's League Final was the latest tight tussle when Kilkenny fended off a brave Cork rally at Nowlan Park.

Kilkenny accumulated a 0-11 to 0-1 advantage in that encounter, but Cork came thundering back.

By the end Kilkenny were fortunate to prevail, but those type of survival instincts need to be demonstrated this weekend again.

Paudie Murray's Cork team is packed with experienced and accomplished performers, who are well versed in carving out September victories.

The most prolific winners of the competition with eight titles gleaned since 1998 face Kilkenny, who had too much guile for Galway at the penultimate stage.

Katie Power mined an opportunistic goal, while Denise Gaule struck six points, including two from play.

Briege Corkery's return for Cork was one of the main talking points following an assured 0-21 to 0-9 success against Tipperary.

Orla Cotter and Katrina Mackey were prominent for Cork, while Aisling Thompson remains an influential figure.

Remaining on the Camogie summit is where Cork intend to stay, but Kilkenny also feel that they can take a prized scalp so this match promises to be interesting.

Intermediate

Cork v Down, Croke Park, 2pm

It has been a hugely encouraging summer for Down, who continue to make progress.

A stirring semi-final win over Tipperary was achieved following Sara Louise Carr's 58th minute winning goal.

Niamh Mallon has been prolific in attack for Down, who delivered when it truly mattered most against Laois and Tipperary.

Having suffered losses at this stage in the past two years Cork want to secure Intermediate glory.

Cliona Healy, still a minor, is an emerging talent, while Finola Neville is a highly regarded forward.

Cork triumphed in Division Two of the League and they will believe that Championship glory can be attained this weekend too.

Premier Junior

Dublin v Kerry, Croke Park, 12pm

Beaten by a splendid Westmeath outfit at this level last year, Dublin return to the decider.

Kerry, encouraged by a Division Three League title, will be anxious to test a Dublin team, who are boosted by the return of Aoife Bugler.

Emer Keenan, though, is unavailable following a cruciate ligament injury, and is a significant loss.

The promising Aoibhe Dillon and Bugler scored well against Offaly in the semi-final so Dublin enter Sunday's clash packed with confidence.

Patrice Diggin is Kerry's chief threat as the Kingdom will be striving to cause a surprise at the Jones Road venue.
