Speaking following confirmation of the curtain-raiser fixtures, Munster GAA Chairman and Tipperary native Ger Ryan said “On behalf of Munster GAA, I am delighted that once again a number of Camogie and Ladies Football games will be played as part of our Munster Championship programme of games in the coming months. The addition of several Camogie and Ladies Football games in 2022 as curtain-raisers to our Munster Senior Hurling and Football Championship games worked very well and I have no doubt the inclusion of further games this year will continue to enhance the bond between our respective bodies.”
Munster Camogie Chairperson John Foley on the confirmation of the curtain-raisers in the coming weeks said “As the new Chairman of Munster Camogie, I’m looking forward to the year ahead and an exciting Munster Camogie Championship. It’s great to see the games being held as double headers with the Munster Hurling Championship.”
