Galway v Cork live updates: Follow the action from All-Ireland senior camogie final

All-Ireland senior camogie final: Galway v Cork, Sunday, Croke Park, 4.15pmCounty rivals, club foes. When Cork and Galway meet in the All-Ireland senior camogie final at Croke Park on Sunday, it’ll be the latest instalment in the history between the counties. But for many players on both sides, the rivalry cuts a layer deeper, writes Muireann Duffy.Ashling Thompson lines out in her 11th All-Ireland final with Cork.“I always think we’ve only won six out of 10,” she says, referencing the deciders Cork have reached since 2014. “We’ve lost four of those All-Irelands. It wouldn’t be nice to lose a fifth on Sunday.“I think when you look back on your career, you’d probably look back on it more positively, but when you’re in it and people ask you how many you’ve won and you say six, in the back of my mind I’m like, ‘But we lost four, like. We’ve lost plenty’.“It’s almost like six isn’t enough, which is probably very greedy, but finals are there to be won, and seven sounds better than six.”[ ‘Finals are to be won’: Cork and Galway relish resuming hostilities for camogie deciderOpens in new window ]Here is Gordon Manning’s preview, who singles out Carrie Dolan as someone who could make the difference.“When the sides met again in Athenry in June for the opening round of the championship group stages, a new-look Cork side ran out 0-18 to 1-8 winners in what was another fiery contest. Galway were not at full strength that afternoon, though, and the new format for the championship this year effectively meant there was no real jeopardy hanging over that fixture.“In addition, Galway captain Dolan didn’t start that game and her influence will make a big difference this weekend.”[ Carrie Dolan could prove the difference for Galway in fiery camogie trilogyOpens in new window ]HT: Antrim 0-9 Laois 0-5The favourites lead in the All-Ireland intermediate final, looking to make it an Ulster double in the first two games of the day.Here are the teams for today’s senior decider.
