Live broadcast of senior semi-finals confirmed for second year
The Camogie Association has announced that the 2011 All Ireland Camogie senior semi-finals will be broadcast live online at www.rte.ie this coming Saturday, August 13th from Nowlan Park.
Kilkenny face Galway at 2.00pm while Wexford play Cork at 4.00pm with Darren Frehill and Marty Morrissey providing commentary.
This is the second year that the All Ireland senior semi-finals have been broadcast online.
Former Cork All Ireland winning camogie player and journalist Therese O’Callaghan and Stellah Sinnott, who guided Wexford to championship honours in 2007 will join Des Cahill on The Sunday Game (August 14th) at 9.30pm for highlights and analysis of the weekend’s ties.
Last year’s All Ireland senior semi-finals drew a bumper crowd of 3,500 and a high attendance is expected this year as Wexford defend their crown against a resurgent Cork side while Kilkenny are aiming for a return to Croke Park, at the expense of Galway.
Meanwhile, over 20 teams nationwide are taking part in the Inaugural Club Twinning Programme æCamßn Club Challenge’. Teams from all over Ireland twin with a Kilkenny Camogie Club to play a game on the morning of the senior semi-finals and attend the games, later that day, in Nowlan Park.
