The Cork U23 camogie side will be looking to make it two from two as they take on Dublin in the All-Ireland championship on Sunday.

Throw-in is at 2pm at Castle Road, and Jerry Wallace’s side will be looking to build on an impressive win over Galway last weekend.

The Tribeswomen are the defending champions and never an easy side to beat, and it will be a huge confidence boost to Cork to have travelled home with the points.

Dublin drew with Tipperary last weekend and can travel in confident form after that result. Tipp are another side that are tough to get the better of, and Dublin will have learned a lot from that draw. They also won the U23 B championship last year.

They will look for strong performances from the likes of Abbie Kenny, Kirsty Fenlon, Aisling Groarke, Amy Carey and Caoimhe Tierney to try and get the better of Cork.

But the Rebels will be expected to keep their winning run going. With players like Orlaith Cahalane, Ciara Golden, Niamh McNabola, Amy Sheppard, Rose Murphy and Aoife Barrett, Cork have a strong side and will be determined to go one better than last year, when they lost in the All-Ireland final.

They won’t take anything for granted, but Cork should have too much for Dublin, and a win sets them up here for their clash with Waterford a week later.

Meanwhile, Cork Camogie has announced the launch of a new online fixtures, results and tables hub for the 2026 season.

The new service has been introduced to provide a more user-friendly and reliable way for clubs, players, mentors, parents and supporters to follow competitions across the county.

With dedicated sections for fixtures, results and league tables, users can now access key competition information more quickly and clearly than before.

As competitions get underway, the new hub will continue to expand across a range of adult and underage grades, ensuring that followers of Cork camogie can stay up to date throughout the season.

“This is an important step in improving how competition information is shared online and forms part of Cork Camogie’s continued commitment to enhancing communication and accessibility across the association,” said PRO Brian O’Regan.

“This new system is now directly integrated with Foireann, ensuring that fixtures and results are sourced from official competition data. We will endeavour to have all results updated as soon as possible following the conclusion of each match, helping to keep clubs, players and supporters fully informed.

“As this is a newly introduced service, it will continue to evolve over the course of the season. Our intention is to further enhance the platform to provide additional details and insights where possible.

“For now, however, we are delighted to make this available to clubs and supporters as an important first step in improving access to competition information.

“There may be minor updates and refinements required as the system beds in. We welcome all feedback from users and encourage anyone with suggestions or issues to get in touch.”
