St Angelas Ursuline are dreaming of All Ireland camogie glory again. The red and navy will face Cross & Passion from Antrim in the Senior A decider on Saturday.

The Ursuline won an All Ireland double twelve months ago and joint manager Conor O'Toole says that it's been an amazing time for the school. "Last year we were absolutely blessed with the Junior A and Senior B. Senior A, three or four years ago when we started up, was probably a bit of a dream. Now that we're here and we'll be competing on Saturday, it's a fantastic achievement from the girls."

They can call on seven Gailltir players that played in Croke Park last Sunday. Leah Sheridan, Hannah Flynn, Clodagh Carroll, Kate Lynch and Annie Fitzgerald all started while Aoife Fitzgerald and Ciara O’Sullivan came on at half time. Joint manager Emilie Darmody hopes that they can bounce back from that disappointment. "Hopefully in Saturday's final we can make up for it and bring a bit of happiness back to themselves and their families."

Abby Flynn and Jodie Tuohy are their main injury concerns ahead of the big day.
