\u2014 The Sunday Game (@TheSundayGame) August 9, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n 43 mins: Oh dear, looks like Ciara Hickey has had a serious leg injury, twisted her knee. That would be a big blow for Galway.<\/p>\n 41 mins: Strong forward play by Niamh McPeake as she pushes Coppinger out of the way to score. They\u2019re level but not for long…<\/p>\n Goal for Cork! Galway concede their first goal of the championship and it\u2019s brilliant play by Saoirse McCarthy from a long ball, bounces it down off the ground then smashes it past the goalkeeper.<\/p>\n Galway 0-11 Cork 1-11<\/p>\n 39 mins: Dolan misses a free and she\u2019s not too happy it wasn\u2019t given or if it went to hawkeye, looked tight but maybe just wide. Cork penalise that miss to take the lead with another great point by McCartan. It looked like Dolan scored from the following puck-out but again it\u2019s just wide.<\/p>\n Galway 0-10 Cork 0-11<\/p>\n 36 mins: Galway win in midfield and win a free which Dolan converts well. But the lead doesn\u2019t last long as Calahane catches and shoots sharply. 10 points apiece.<\/p>\n Galway 0-10 Cork 0-10<\/p>\n 33 mins: Good start to the second half by Cork with a superb score by Emma Murphy. Then a goal chance for Cork, with Healy under pressure from the high ball but Galway just escape. Then Laura Hayes hits a brilliant point from a standing position to level the score.<\/p>\n Galway 0-9 Cork 0-9<\/p>\n 30+3 mins: Amy O\u2019Connor gets her fourth free of the game to reduce the deficit just before half-time.<\/p>\n Half-time: Galway 0-9 Cork 0-7<\/p>\n Galway well deserving of their lead so far but it\u2019s a tight game with all to play for in the second half. No shortage of bite in this one between the two rivals.<\/p>\n 30 mins: Dervla Higgins scores for Galway before a peach of a score by Caoimhe Kelly to put Galway further ahead.<\/p>\n Galway 0-9 Cork 0-6<\/p>\n 28 mins: Frantic minute as Cork goalkeeper Amy Lee misjudges an underhit free and Galway almost take advantage, but Cork scramble it away.<\/p>\n 26 mins: Great free-taking by O\u2019Connor so far, she gets a third of the match to narrow it back to one point. Neither side giving an inch, a minute or two of battling play, then McCartan hits a wonderful point from near the sideline. The scores don\u2019t stay level for long though as Donohue puts Galway back ahead with a fine score. <\/p>\n Galway 0-7 Cork 0-6<\/p>\n 22 mins: Fantastic score by Galway, Ciara Hickey with a great long pass, Carrie Dolan sells a dummy and then strikes it over from near the sideline. Galway warming up nicely as Niamh Niland plays a one-two with Dolan and slots one over. <\/p>\n Galway 0-6 Cork 0-4<\/p>\n 19 mins: Sorcha McCartan with a great score after getting a bit of space and swinging over from an angle to level the scores again. She has a chance to put Cork ahead, but her chance trails off wide.<\/p>\n Galway 0-4 Cork 0-3<\/p>\n 17 mins: Attritional so far and the injuries are showing as Niamh Mallon went down injured after a fall and then Millie Condon is down after a collision with Dolan again, who gets a yellow card. Mallon won\u2019t continue, while Dolan is off on a blood sub. O\u2019Connor scores for Cork.<\/p>\n Galway 0-4 Cork 0-3<\/p>\n 15 mins: Carrie Dolan doesn\u2019t miss this time after missing in the opening minute as she sticks it over from a placed ball to give Galway a two-point lead. Ashling Thompson misses a chance.<\/p>\n Galway 0-4 Cork 0-2<\/p>\n 12 mins: Caoimhe Kelly levels the scores as she turns and swings it over beautifully. Galway turn the ball over and Kelly nails another sweet one over the bar from a similar position from the right.<\/p>\n Galway 0-3 Cork 0-2<\/p>\n 8 mins: Big free from distance from Saoirse McCarthy to give Cork the lead. It\u2019s been a physical game so far and Laura Hayes has got treatment after a very heavy collision with Carrie Dolan, Dolan lucky to get away that not even being a free. <\/p>\n Galway 0-1 Cork 0-2<\/p>\n 6 mins: Amy O\u2019Connor levels the scores with a free as Cork ease their way into a game that has had a slow start, as Niland\u2019s shot goes short into the keeper\u2019s hands. <\/p>\n Galway 0-1 Cork 0-1<\/p>\n 4 mins: First point of the day well taken by Niamh Niland after she took a godo pass and scored well.<\/p>\n Galway 0-1 Cork 0-0<\/p>\n 2 mins: The first chance of the game is missed by Carrie Dolan from a free, then another miss by Ailish O\u2019Reilly, they would have expected to have scored both.<\/p>\n A few minute silences and now the national anthem by the Artane Band and sung by Michaela Hogg.<\/p>\n President Catherine Connolly out on the pitch greeting the players, hoping for a Galway win today no doubt.<\/p>\n Antrim are All-Ireland intermediate champions for the first time since 2021. Loughgiel\u2019s Rois\u00edn McCormick finished with 1-11 to her name.<\/p>\n FT: Antrim 1-21 Laois 0-11<\/p>\n County rivals, club foes. When\u00a0Cork\u00a0and\u00a0Galway\u00a0meet in the All-Ireland senior\u00a0camogie\u00a0final at Croke Park on Sunday, it\u2019ll be the latest instalment in the history between the counties. But for many players on both sides, the rivalry cuts a layer deeper, writes Muireann Duffy.<\/p>\n Ashling Thompson lines out in her 11th All-Ireland final with Cork.<\/p>\n \u201cI always think we\u2019ve only won six out of 10,\u201d she says, referencing the deciders Cork have reached since 2014. \u201cWe\u2019ve lost four of those All-Irelands. It wouldn\u2019t be nice to lose a fifth on Sunday.<\/p>\n \u201cI think when you look back on your career, you\u2019d probably look back on it more positively, but when you\u2019re in it and people ask you how many you\u2019ve won and you say six, in the back of my mind I\u2019m like, \u2018But we lost four, like. We\u2019ve lost plenty\u2019.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s almost like six isn\u2019t enough, which is probably very greedy, but finals are there to be won, and seven sounds better than six.\u201d<\/p>\n [\u00a0\u2018Finals are to be won\u2019: Cork and Galway relish resuming hostilities for camogie deciderOpens in new window<\/a>\u00a0]<\/p>\n Here is Gordon Manning\u2019s preview, who singles out Carrie Dolan as someone who could make the difference.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen the sides met again in Athenry in June for the opening round of the championship group stages, a new-look Cork side ran out 0-18 to 1-8 winners in what was another fiery contest. Galway were not at full strength that afternoon, though, and the new format for the championship this year effectively meant there was no real jeopardy hanging over that fixture.<\/p>\n \u201cIn addition, Galway captain Dolan didn\u2019t start that game and her influence will make a big difference this weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n [\u00a0Carrie Dolan could prove the difference for Galway in fiery camogie trilogyOpens in new window<\/a>\u00a0]<\/p>\n HT: Antrim 0-9 Laois 0-5<\/p>\n The favourites lead in the All-Ireland intermediate final, looking to make it an Ulster double in the first two games of the day.<\/p>\n Here are the teams for today\u2019s senior decider. Both teams are unchanged from the semi-finals.<\/p>\n Galway: Sarah Healy; Rachael Hanniffy, R\u00f3is\u00edn Black, Dervla Higgins; Katie Manning, Ciara Hickey, Katie Anna Porter; Ally Hesnan, Carrie Dolan; \u00c1ine Keane, Niamh McPeake, Aoife Donohue; Niamh Niland, Ailish O\u2019Reilly, Caoimhe Kelly.<\/p>\n Cork: Amy Lee; Izzy O\u2019Regan, Libby Coppinger, M\u00e9abh Cahalane; Ava Fitzgerald, M\u00e9abh Murphy, Isobel Sheehan; Ashling Thompson, Laura Hayes; Emma Murphy, Saoirse McCarthy, Millie Condon; Amy O\u2019Connor, Orlaith Cahalane, Sorcha McCartan.<\/p>\n Hello and welcome to live coverage of the All-Ireland camogie final between Galway and Cork, which throws in at 4.15pm. Galway<\/a> and Cork<\/a> have been the game\u2019s dominant forces over recent years and on Sunday they will clash in a third consecutive All-Ireland senior final, with the spoils one apiece. Cork won the 2024 decider by one goal, but Galway got revenge last August with a dramatic one-point victory in a feisty match. The rivalry continues today.<\/p>\n In the intermediate final, Antrim lead Laois 0-7 to 0-4 in the first half. Armagh\u00a0edged out\u00a0Cavan\u00a0in a closely fought all-Ulster junior final.<\/p>\n![\"Galway's](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/KIYAT4OFBCLJYV56HPBQIJKRHY.jpg\")
