The Camogie Association today launched the 2022 Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Senior Camogie Quarter finals which takes place on 16th July 2022 in Semple Stadium, Thurles. Galway and Cork who topped their groups and will head straight to the semi-finals, where they await the winners of the quarter-finals next week where Kilkenny will play Dublin and Waterford will take on Limerick.
In the final rounds, Dublin produced a stirring performance to post a 4-14 to 2-11 victory against Wexford in Bellefield and having begun on the same score difference as Tipperary, that saw them through, as Waterford chiselled out a 2-12 to 1-12 win over Clare in Cusack Park to cement second position in Group 1 and banish the Banner women to a relegation play-off.
Group 2 was a little more straightforward, Galway just holding off Kilkenny to record a share of the spoils 1-17 to 2-14 at Kenny Park to give them top spot, on score difference. It was winner-takes-all between Limerick and Antrim at Corrigan Park, the visitors going through the gears in the second half to record a 1-14 to 1-11 success that gave them third spot.
The Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Semi-Finals will take place Croke Park on 23rd July culminating in a triple header All Ireland Final at Croke Park and will the All-Ireland Finalists compete for the Seaghan O’Duffy Cup (Senior), Jack McGrath Cup (Intermediate) and Kathleen Mills Cup (Premier Junior).
Rowena Rodrigues, Group Head of External Relations and Engagement at Glen Dimplex said,
“As proud sponsors of the Camogie Association All-Ireland Championships, Glen Dimplex is delighted to show our support for the Quarter Finals, in what is set to be an exciting double header in Semple Stadium.
Glen Dimplex is a privately owned, international group founded in Ireland. We see a synergy between our business and the Camogie Association, given the energy that is exuded on the camogie pitch, and the sport’s role in inspiring and sustaining local communities.
We are delighted to be involved with the Championships and would like to congratulate all the players and teams who competed over the last six weeks.”
