Littlewoods Ireland Camogie Leagues

Saturday, February 18^th

Littlewoods Ireland Camogie Leagues Division 1, Group 1

Cork v Dublin

All-Ireland runners-up Cork will be looking to bounce-back from the heartbreak of September’s All-Ireland Final defeat and start the campaign with victory over the Dubs. Dublin under the stewardship of their new manager, former Kilkenny hurling All-Ireland winning goalkeeper David Herity face a tough challenge as they travel south to the Rebel County.

Referee: Ray Kelly (Kildare)

Venue: Mallow GAA

Throw-in: 3pm

Kilkenny v Tipperary

Current League and All-Ireland Champions Kilkenny will look to continue their all-conquering form from 2016 against Tipp as they set out to defend the League crown. This young Tipperary side will be looking for revenge having narrowly lost out after extra-time at the Semi-Final stage against the Cats in the League in 2016.

Referee: Owen Elliott (Antrim)

Venue: MW Hire Training Centre, Kilkenny

Throw-in: 2pm

Littlewoods Ireland Camogie Leagues Division 1, Group 2

Clare v Galway

Clare have great room to improve after a disappointing 2016 where they failed to progress from the group stage in either the League or Championship and face a stern test in the visit of Galway. League runners-up last year Galway will look to get off to a good start as they try to build on a very positive 2016 where they challenged on all fronts.

Referee: Cathal Egan (Cork)

Venue: Whitegate GAA

Throw-in: 2pm

Limerick v Meath

After a strong League campaign in 2016 Limerick faltered in the Championship but will go into this game confident of securing a home victory as they aim to match last year’s League Semi-Final berth. Newcomers to Division 1 Meath will be on a steep learning curve in this campaign but will likely target this match as an opportunity to take a scalp from one of the establishment.

Referee: Fintan McNamara (Clare)

Venue: Rathkeale GAA

Throw-in: 2pm

Littlewoods Ireland Camogie Leagues Division 1, Group 1

Waterford v Wexford

Na Déise impressed in 2016 in their first year at Senior level, more than holding their own and will now hope to kick on with a good start to the League in a derby match. Wexford will hope to continue their strong finish to 2016 which saw them suffer heartbreak as they lost out to Cork in the All-Ireland Semi-Final after extra-time.

Referee: Liz Dempsey (Kilkenny)

Venue: WIT Carriganore

Throw-in: 3.30pm
