After roaring into life last weekend, Group 1 of the Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship continues on Sunday.
With two automatic semi-final berths up for grabs, the four teams will be looking to take a major step towards Thurles on 25th July.
As Kilkenny and Clare in particular look dangerous in Group 2 – on a break this weekend – last year’s semi-finalists will be wary of taking the scenic route to the last four.

Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Senior Championship, Group 1
Waterford vs Galway, 2pm Sunday, Azzurri Walsh Park – live on the Camogie Association’s YouTube channel
Waterford had their chances in the Centra Camogie League final in April, but were left to ponder what might have been as the Tribeswomen won out 0-13 to 0-11.
The Déise used home advantage to avenge a Munster final defeat against Tipperary last Sunday, and will look to set the record straight once more when the Westerners come to town.
Cathal Murray didn’t mince his words after Galway’s defeat to Cork, conceding “we were a long way off our own standards”.
A late Ailish O’Reilly goal merely put some gloss on the 0-18 to 1-8 full-time score, and Murray will know the All-Ireland champions must raise their game if they are to get back on track.
Tipperary vs Cork, 3:30pm Sunday, FBD Semple Stadium – live on the Camogie Association’s YouTube channel
There were legitimate questions around Cork heading to Athenry last weekend. Ger Manley’s team answered every single one.
While Saoirse McCarthy and Amy O’Connor led the charge, they were ably assisted by the younger cohort. Orlaith Cahalane took a major step forward, and looked at home in the Rebels’ forward line.
The resounding seven-point victory over the reigning All-Ireland champions put any worries about Cork’s early-season form to bed.
Is this version of Cork here to stay for the summer? The coming days will tell.
The Lee-siders travel to Thurles with a pep in their step, looking to reverse Tipperary’s 1-18 to 2-9 victory in the Munster Championship at the same venue.
The Premier County were impressive in their run to provincial honours, but were bested by a strong Waterford side last weekend.
Seven points from play were all that Tipp could muster on Suir-side last Sunday, in their 0-16 to 1-10 defeat.
James Heffernan’s team know another defeat will see their top-two hopes hanging by a thread.
Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Intermediate Championship, Group 2
Westmeath vs Laois, 3:30pm Saturday, Coralstown Kinnegad GAA
Carlow vs Meath, 3:30pm Saturday, Netwatch Cullen Park
The last round of games in Group 2 sees all four teams still in with a chance of progression.
Fresh from their 2025 success in the premier intermediate grade, Laois have looked at home in the Intermediate Championship.
Successive wins see the O’Moore County sitting on two wins from two, but they face a tricky assignment away to Westmeath to secure their spot in the quarter-finals.
Carlow and Meath face off in Netwatch Cullen Park, with both teams in need of a positive result.
Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Premier Junior Championship
Kildare vs Cavan, 3:30pm, Manguard Park, Hawkfield
Roscommon vs Wicklow, 3:30pm, King & Moffat Dr Hyde Park
Tyrone vs Armagh, 4:30pm, Edendork St Malachy’s GAC
Cavan have been the story of the Premier Junior Championship thus far. The Breffni County’s victory over Armagh last week was the standout result of round two. They now travel to a winless Kildare on Saturday afternoon.
Roscommon will be looking to make it three from three when they host Wicklow, while Tyrone and Armagh both seek a second victory of the campaign in an all-Ulster clash.
Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Junior Championship
Mayo vs Monaghan, 3:30pm, Hastings Insurance McHale Park
Louth vs Donegal, 3:30pm, Dowdallshill
The four teams are jostling for position this weekend in the final round of group games, with the semi-final line-up to be confirmed.
Monaghan are flying high with successive victories, and will be looking to make amends for their Division 3B league final defeat to Mayo when the sides meet again.
Louth and Donegal both have one win apiece, and will face off in Dowdallshill.
