The Rebels held the upper hand for most of the proceedings but they found it difficult to shake off their doughty opponents
Cork ended a run of eight consecutive losses against Galway, including three this year alone, to emerge victorious in a fiercely fought Glen Dimplex All-Ireland senior camogie semi-final at UPMC Nowlan Park.
This was a game that was less elemental than the first semi-final, cagier, with a little more testiness between players who know each other well. Libby Coppinger and official player of the match Saoirse McCarthy had huge second halves and with the subs having a big involvement, the Cork victory was merited.
Donohue brought the teams level but half-time sub Hayes and O’Connor pushed Cork clear, while Healy also hit the first of her two points from the bench as Matthew Twomey’s crew moved four clear.
