Galway vs Tipperary (All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship Preview with Cathal Murray)

Galway have made two changes for Sunday's final group game against Tipperary in the Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship.  Clarinbridge's Niamh Niland and Sarsfields' Caoimhe Kelly come into the starting 15 instead of Shannon Corcoran and Mairead Dillon.

Following their victory over Waterford two weeks previously, another win for the Tribeswomen will put them in pole position to qualify directly for the semi-finals.  Defeat could see them needing to come through the quarter-finals next week in Croke Park.

Leading up to the game, Galway manager Cathal Murray has been chatting to Galway Bay FM's Tommy Devane.

The reigning All-Ireland champs know they did not do themselves justice the first day out at home to Cork, but they recorded a valuable away victory over the Déise to get back on track. Now Cathal Murray's team welcome Tipperary to Athenry in their third and final game of the group.

Injury to Niamh Mallon is a concern, and it remains to be seen if the All-Star forward will return in time for Sunday. Nonetheless, Niamh McPeake's contribution of 0-5 from play in Azzurri Walsh Park showed that the Tribeswomen are not reliant on any one player.

Munster champions Tipperary are yet to fire in the All-Ireland Championship, but their home display against Cork showed that they aren't far away from the required level.

The return of Eimear McGrath bolstered the Premier attack against Cork, while Caoimhe Stakelum - one of the standout players of 2026 so far - is likely to feature having sat the Leaving Cert in recent weeks.
