PREVIEW: All Roads Lead To Tipperary For This Weekend’s Senior Camogie Championship Clashes

It’s been a turbulent week in camogie this week to say the least, but it will be business as normal this coming Saturday when a double-header of senior camogie action kicks off in Semple Stadium, Thurles. First up, the much-talked about encounter between Clare and Dublin kicks off at 2pm as the pair go head-to-head in a play-off. Both sides are coming into the game following wins over Derry in the last game of the group stages. The last time they met, they drew 1-8 apiece and there's little doubt that not much will separate them at the final whistle this weekend either. Rewinding a bit further, Dublin had the upper hand when they went head-to-head in the National League earlier in the year, winning by just two points that day. This time round though a spot in the All-Ireland quarter-final against Wexford on Monday is up for grabs, so there’s no doubt that both sides will be giving this game everything they’ve got. At 4 o’clock then, it will be the turn of Cork and Tipperary who will face off in the All-Ireland quarter final. A much-anticipated clash, reigning All-Ireland champions Cork will be hoping to secure a victory after a defeat to Wexford in the group stages. With wins against Limerick and Offaly already under their belts and will be hoping to return to winning ways Saturday afternoon. Tipperary meanwhile have been the ones to watch in this year’s championship thus far. An impressive group campaign saw them only lose out to an on-form Kilkenny side, who went on to top the group. This year has marked a massive turn around for the Premier County and they will be hoping to get one step closer to All-Ireland final day with a win on Saturday. Elsewhere in the Liberty Insurance championship, Cork and Galway will go head-to-head in the intermediate championship on Sunday, Meath and Wexford will do battle for glory while Kildare will face off to Waterford in Newbridge at 2.30pm on Sunday. In the Premier Junior championship, Dublin face Limerick, Laois will meet Armagh and Roscommon will welcome Westmeath to Oran on Sunday. In the Junior A championship semi-finals meanwhile, Carlow will take on Clare and Kerry will face Meath.
