Gailltír are preparing for one of the biggest days in the club’s history as they take on Cork champions St Finbarr’s in the AIB Munster Senior Camogie Championship Final this Saturday.

The sides meet at FBD Semple Stadium in Thurles, with throw-in at 1.30 pm, as the Waterford champions look to secure a first senior provincial title.

The final comes just days after Gailltír’s senior footballers were involved in a demanding Munster Senior Ladies Football Championship final against Adare of Cork, which finished level after extra time. It has been a busy period for a club whose players are heavily involved in both codes.

Speaking to WLR Sport, Gailltír Joint captain Alana O’Sullivan says the team is proud of the resilience shown in their recent football campaign, but their attention has now turned towards Saturday’s camogie final.

O’Sullivan says the opportunity to represent Gailltír in a Munster final in Thurles is something players do not take for granted.

She acknowledged the challenge posed by St Finbarr’s, describing them as a well-drilled side with plenty of experience. The Cork champions also have recent Munster success behind them, having won the provincial title last season.

Gailltír will look to draw on their own experience of big occasions, having featured in a Munster final replay in 2024. O’Sullivan also believes the strength of the current panel is a major asset, with around 25 players capable of making an impact.

The demands of competing in both camogie and football have required careful preparation, with O’Sullivan highlighting the importance of finding a balance between the two codes. She also paid tribute to the players who concentrate solely on camogie, saying their contribution allows the club to compete in both competitions.

For O’Sullivan, the strength of Gailltír goes beyond what happens on the pitch. She spoke about the importance of the people who helped build the club, including its founding members, and the support received from those involved behind the scenes.

She described the group as a close-knit family and said the players are conscious of the generations who have helped bring the club to where it is today.

With a strong panel, experience of provincial finals and considerable support behind them, Gailltír now turn their attention to the challenge of St Finbarr’s as they look to bring another Munster title back to Waterford.
