As Cork look to secure All-Ireland camogie glory again, there will be a packed programme of family entertainment planned to accompany the Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Camogie Championship finals at Croke Park on Sunday.

Cork will take on Galway in the senior All-Ireland final at 5.15pm. Before that, the premier junior final begins at 1pm and will see Laois and Armagh battle it out. The intermediate final will begin at 3pm, and will see Kerry and Offaly face off.

There will be plenty of family-friendly entertainment both pre- and post-match, scheduled both on and off the pitch.

Among the entertainment highlights are a tailgate party in the Croke Park Hotel from noon, which will feature music and face painting.

There will be also live DJ sets, T-shirt cannons, drumming performances, and a dance cam in Croke Park throughout the day.

The half-time show will include pitchside appearances from mini teams, U14 parades, and an appearance by the Tipperary jubilee team of 2000.

The stadium MCs on the day will be sports broadcasters Aisling O’Reilly and Valerie Wheeler.

Cork have won the past two senior camogie All-Ireland titles and are hoping to become the first side to win three in a row since the Wexford team from 2010- 2012.

President of the Camogie Association, Brian Molloy, said: “There’s nowhere else you’ll want to be on August 10 than Croke Park.

“We’ve got something for everyone, from die-hard supporters to families looking for a memorable summer day out.

“With entertainment from start to finish, the atmosphere promises to be electric, both on and off the pitch. It’s a true celebration of camogie, community and culture. You won’t want to miss it.”
