Tipperary camogie squads named ahead of bumper camogie weekend

Tipperary begin their Division 1 and 2 league campaigns this afternoon.

In Division 1, the Tipperary senior team welcome Down to The Ragg for a 2pm throw-in.

Bill Mullaney named his team to start last night which doesn’t include any Drom-Inch players as they are on break following their busy club campaign over the past few months.


Tipperary camogie PRO Geraldine Kinane says the absence of some key players will give others a chance to impress:

“Karen Kennedy is out injured as well, awaiting an operation on her shoulder so I think she’s ruled out for most of the league as well and Clodagh Quirke is still recovering from the cruciate injury which kept her out all last season.

“Orla O’Dwyer is still in Australia so there’s a good few big names not available for selection but that’s really what you want at this time of the year to give other girls the chance to step up to the mark”

1. Aine Slattery (Shannon Rovers)
