It’s time take a look ahead to the third round of matches in the 2015 Liberty Insurance Camogie Championships.
Liberty Insurance Senior Camogie Championship Group 1
Offaly v Galway, St.Brendan’s Park, Birr, 2.30pm, Referee: Peter Dowd
This is a must-win game for Offaly if they wish to reach the quarter-finals again this year having suffered defeats against both Limerick and Wexford in their opening matches so far.
National League champions Galway will be looking to maintain their winning start having got their campaign underway in impressive fashion with a high profile win over the reigning All-Ireland champions Cork a fortnight ago.
Wexford v Limerick, Innovate Wexford Park, 5pm, Referee: Alan Lagrue (Double Header with Hurling)*
Wexford come into this tie on a high having started their campaign with a comprehensive victory over Offaly last weekend whilst Limerick will be hoping to bounce back to winning ways after their defeat to Cork last week having started the campaign brightly with a win against Offaly in the opening round.
When these two sides met in the National League, it was Limerick who ran out as impressive winners on the day, something which Wexford will be looking to atone for. The match will be the curtain raiser to the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship clash between Wexford and Cork in Innovate Wexford Park which should ensure a bumper crowd behind the home side.
Liberty Insurance Senior Camogie Championship Group 2
Derry v Kilkenny, Swatragh, 2.30pm, Referee: Karl O’Brien
Derry will be looking for a repeat performance from last weekend’s epic encounter with Tipperary which saw them narrowly lose by just a single point in a high scoring and hard fought match. They will also be looking to put in a better display than when the two sides met in the National League, on a day when Kilkenny ran our convincing winners.
Kilkenny, are looking to make up for the heartbreak of last year’s narrow All-Ireland Final loss to Cork and to go one further in 2015 and have begun this campaign in impressive fashion with wins against Dublin and Clare so far.
Dublin v Tipperary, O’Moore Park, Portlaoise, 5pm, Referee: Ray Kelly (Double Header with Hurling)*
Dublin will be looking to put their first points on the board having lost their opening match at the hands of what is proving to be an impressive Kilkenny side. Tipperary meanwhile will be looking to maintain their winning ways following their narrow win over Derry last weekend, but will need to sure up their defence to hold up a Dublin side that impressed during the National League campaign.
The match will be the curtain raiser to the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship clash between Dublin and Laois in O’Moore Park, Portlaoise which should ensure a bumper crowd supporting the Dublin side.
