The Camogie Association welcomed a record crowd for the penultimate stage of the championship, as 10,311 came through the turnstiles for the Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Senior Championship semi-finals in FBD Semple Stadium.
Thurles played host to a double-header on Saturday evening, as reigning champions Galway overcame Kilkenny, and Cork defeated Munster rivals Tipperary.
Commenting, Uachtarán an Chumainn Camógaíochta Brian Molloy said: “Míle buíochas le gach duine a tháinig chun na cluichí. It is great to see a record semi-finals crowd, who were treated to two great contests.
“Congratulations to Galway and Cork on their victories. Six counties will compete in our Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Finals at Croke Park on 9th August, and I would encourage fans from every county to commit to making the trip to Jones’ Road in two weeks’ time. Camogie is in a great place. We are looking to break even more records, and support these wonderful athletes and our great game.”
