Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Senior Championship<\/p>\n
Enter the big guns. Galway, Cork, Tipperary and Waterford join the fray this weekend in the 2026 Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Championship. 2025\u2019s semi-finalists are together in Group 1, with the top two in the round-robin progressing directly to the penultimate stage.<\/p>\n
All matches take place on Saturday 6th June, barring Waterford vs Tipperary (Sunday 7th June)<\/p>\n
Group 1: Galway vs Cork, 2pm, Kenny Park, Athenry \u2013 live on the Camogie Association\u2019s YouTube channel<\/p>\n
Revenge is very much on the mind of Ger Manley\u2019s team, as they make the trip to Athenry. Galway\u2019s shock victory that denied Cork a famous three-in-a-row last August will still be stinging on Lee-side.<\/p>\n
In truth, they haven\u2019t looked the same in the interim period. A shock defeat at home to Antrim summed up a mixed league campaign, and they were bettered by Tipperary in the opening round of the Munster Championship.<\/p>\n
Following the loss of Hannah Looney to AFLW, and injury to Ashling Thompson, the Rebels need new faces to step up over the coming weeks.<\/p>\n
Having said all of that, nobody would be surprised if Cork were to turn on the style this Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Galway meanwhile have been out of action since their Centra Camogie League final victory over Waterford. The return of \u00c1ine Keane from long-term injury will bolster the Tribe.<\/p>\n
Cathal Murray\u2019s charges will be hoping to become the first ever Galway team to retain the O\u2019Duffy Cup, and a home victory would be a serious signal of intent.<\/p>\n
Group 1: Waterford vs Tipperary, 3:30pm, Azzurri Walsh Park \u2013 live on the Camogie Association\u2019s YouTube channel<\/p>\n
A repeat of last month\u2019s Munster final sees Waterford host Tipperary on Suir-side.
Michael Boland\u2019s outfit were the form team in Camogie in the opening months of the year, but have lost finals to both Galway and Tipperary in recent weeks.<\/p>\n
Nonetheless, they know they can go toe-to-toe with the best in the business, and are not far away.<\/p>\n
The coming weeks will offer an insight into whether they are capable of claiming their first ever All-Ireland senior crown.<\/p>\n
If Beth Carton and Niamh Rockett are on song, this D\u00e9ise team are a match for anyone.<\/p>\n
Tipperary meanwhile will have a pep in their step, following their Munster Championship success.<\/p>\n
The Premier have been absent from the All-Ireland Senior Championship final every year since 2006, despite reaching the semi-final in seven of the last eight seasons.<\/p>\n
Talk of that semi-final hoodoo will be parked for now, as they aim to take care of business in the group stages.<\/p>\n
Caoimhe Stakelum has added a real threat to the attack in 2026, and the Leaving Cert student could be a breakout star this summer.<\/p>\n
Both counties will feel Sunday\u2019s tie is a must-win, if they are to claim a top-two spot in the group.<\/p>\n
Group 2: Dublin vs Wexford, 2pm, Parnell Park<\/p>\n
The two Leinster finalists both find themselves in a hole. Winless after two games, Dublin and Wexford both need three points if they are to salvage their championship campaigns.<\/p>\n
The Dubs failed to capitalise on a nine-point half-time lead in the provincial decider last month, and will be hoping to make home advantage count in Donnycarney.<\/p>\n
Group 2: Kilkenny vs Offaly, 4:30pm, UPMC Nowlan Park<\/p>\n
Kilkenny are riding the crest of a wave. Following commanding victories over Limerick and Dublin, the Cats will be aiming to make it three from three. Sarah Barcoe and Aoife Prendergast have been driving the attack impressively, and the Nore-siders look like a team that could have a big say in the Glen Dimplex Championship this summer.<\/p>\n
Offaly failed to back up their opening win over Wexford, as they fell to the Treaty last weekend. Nonetheless, the 2025 intermediate champs will be hopeful of delivering a second victory on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Group 2: Clare vs Limerick, 4:30pm, Zimmer Biomet P\u00e1irc Ch\u00edos\u00f3g<\/p>\n
Clare\u2019s trajectory is steadily rising at present. Even when star forward Lorna McNamara was forced ashore early in last weekend\u2019s win over Wexford, others stepped up with Roisin Begley (2-2) and Maeve Millea (1-0) leading the line.<\/p>\n
They will back themselves to make it three from three, although Limerick will be quietly confident of causing an upset. The Treaty got back on track last week against Offaly, but will need to find another level if they are to deny their high-flying neighbours.<\/p>\n
Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Intermediate Championship<\/p>\n
Group 1: Antrim vs Kerry, 3:30pm, Ahoghill \u2013 live on the Camogie Association\u2019s YouTube channel
Group 1: Down vs Derry, 3:30pm, Liatroim
Group 2: Laois vs Meath, 12:15pm, Laois Hire O\u2019Moore Park
Group 2: Westmeath vs Carlow, 12:15pm, TEG Cusack Park<\/p>\n
There is no doubting the tie of the round in the intermediate grade this weekend. Kerry\u2019s trip to Antrim sees last year\u2019s beaten finalists take on a team who acquitted themselves admirably in Division 1A of the Centra Camogie League earlier this season.<\/p>\n
The Kingdom had to dig deep for an opening win over Down, while Antrim recorded a dominant victory over Derry the last day out.<\/p>\n
The Mourne and Oak Leaf counties face off knowing victory is essential, if they are to pursue an automatic semi-final berth in Group 1.<\/p>\n
In Group 2, Laois and Westmeath will be hoping to back up their opening day victories.<\/p>\n
Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Premier Junior Championship<\/p>\n
Wicklow vs Tyrone, 3:30pm, St Patrick\u2019s GAA, Wicklow Town
Cavan vs Armagh, 3:30pm, Kingspan Breffni
Kildare vs Roscommon, 3:30pm, Manguard Park, Hawkfield<\/p>\n
The Orchard County justified their favourites tag last week, when they accounted for the Lilywhites.<\/p>\n
Cavan will provide a stern test for last year\u2019s finalists, after an impressive victory over Wicklow.<\/p>\n
Kildare and Tyrone are also seeking a first win of the campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Senior Championship Enter the big guns.
