It’s decision time for the Camogie Association.
The players and backroom teams of both Clare and Dublin are waiting with bated breath this weekend as they have yet to learn what their fate will be in this year’s Liberty Insurance senior camogie championship.
Clare’s Emma O’Connell and Orlaigh Mullan of Derry.
With both sides now on equal points, the draw to determine the final qualifier from Group 2 has been deferred due to appeals lodged by both counties.

Clare overcame Derry in emphatic style in Ennis on a 4-19 to 1-6 margin and now, both they and Dublin must wait and see what happens next.
Clare’s Clare Hehir and Aine McAlister of Derry.
Clare dominated the opening half against Derry, going in at the break on a comfortable lead of 4-7 to 0-4.
A goal from Derry’s Orla Mullan in the opening minutes of the second half seemed to swing the momentum in their favour, but Clare soon found their footing once more to drive on to a comprehensive win.

Elsewhere, Meath will play Wexford next week with a place in the Liberty Insurance All-Ireland intermediate camogie semi-final at stake after a 3-14 to 2-11 victory to end Galway’s championship run.
Cork, meanwhile, are guaranteed a semi-final spot after making it three wins from three thanks to a 2-17 to 0-11 victory over Down.
Who will advance, Clare or Dublin?
They are joined in the last four by Waterford, whose goalscoring ability saw them overcome Kilkenny, 3-5 to 0-12.
In the Premier Junior, Dublin had the upper hand over Armagh, winning on a final scoreline of 2-4 to 0-7, Laois had ten to spare over Roscommon (2-17 to 2-7) while there was some brilliant scoring from Westmeath, who overcame Limerick 6-13 to 1-3.
