The Waterford minor camogie team can make history on Sunday as they are seeking a first All Ireland A title against Cork.
Manager Mark English says that this group have worked hard over the past seven months. “We started way back in late October on a trial basis. We played the seniors so we had tough matches. We wanted to put it up to the girls and see exactly what was there. We knew there was massive potential. It was just to put the belief in the girls that we can put it up to the Galways, Corks and Kilkennys, the supposed kingpins of camogie. Here we are today in an All Ireland final.”
Cork got the better of Galway 1-18 to 3-10 in the last four. The Rebels have won three of the last four minor A championships. Waterford emerged victorious by 3-9 to 2-5 when the sides
met seven weeks ago at the SETU Arena. English knows how difficult it will be to beat them twice in the same season. “It will be a massive challenge but these girls are ready for it. We
played them here in the second game of the season. It was a seven point win for us but that game is well gone out the window now, well gone. This is a totally different match. I think
we’re well prepared for it.”
Throw is at 4.30 on Sunday in Nowlan Park. Mark English, Faye Murphy and Eimear O'Neill will feature on Friday's Lár Na Páirce from 6.10.
