The Camogie Association today launched the 2022 Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Senior Camogie Quarter finals which takes place on 16th July 2022 in Semple Stadium, Thurles. Galway and Cork who topped their groups and will head straight to the semi-finals, where they await the winners of the quarter-finals next week where Kilkenny will play Dublin and Waterford will take on Limerick.
In the final rounds, Dublin produced a stirring performance to post a 4-14 to 2-11 victory against Wexford in Bellefield and having begun on the same score difference as Tipperary, that saw them through, as Waterford chiselled out a 2-12 to 1-12 win over Clare in Cusack Park to cement second position in Group 1 and banish the Banner women to a relegation play-off.
Group 2 was a little more straightforward, Galway just holding off Kilkenny to record a share of the spoils 1-17 to 2-14 at Kenny Park to give them top spot, on score difference. It was winner-takes-all between Limerick and Antrim at Corrigan Park, the visitors going through the gears in the second half to record a 1-14 to 1-11 success that gave them third spot.
The Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Semi-Finals will take place Croke Park on 23rd July culminating in a triple header All Ireland Final at Croke Park and will the All-Ireland Finalists compete for the Seaghan O’Duffy Cup (Senior), Jack McGrath Cup (Intermediate) and Kathleen Mills Cup (Premier Junior).
