A sensational result for the Dubs at Croke Park.
Dublin 1-13 Kilkenny 0-12 DUBLIN FOUND ANOTHER gear in the final quarter to pull clear of Kilkenny and qualify for the semi-finals of the Glen Dimplex All-Ireland senior camogie championship for the first time in seven years and only the second time since 1990.
The game got off to an action-packed start as Prendergast split the posts in the second minute on the turn from 40m. It was a wonderful piece of opportunism and skill by former Dublin footballer Sinéad Wylde. A free from distance by Maher, who became co-chair of the GPA during the week, broke on the edge of the parallelogram but as Niamh Deely went to pick up the sliotar, Wylde somehow flicked it one handed off her hurley from behind and beyond Aoife Norris on the Kilkenny line.
Kilkenny did waste opportunities too but Aisling Gannon finally ended Dublin’s scoring famine to level and Maher lofted over a mighty effort from a free outside the 65 to give the Sky Blues the lead at the interval, 1-5 to 0-7. — The Sunday Game July 6, 2024 So much for history. In the final quarter, it was all about Dublin as their athleticism, pace and desire saw them find another gear. They struck the last four points, while Aisling O’Neill — an All-Star nominee as a Leaving Cert student but making a first appearance after a lengthy absence with a hamstring tendon injury — made a massive contribution when introduced in the 41st minute.
Scorers for Kilkenny: A Pendergast 0-5; A Doyle 0-3; C Keher Murtagh 0-2; S Fitzgerald, K Power 0-1 each
