Image: John McVitty/INPHO ALL-IRELAND SENIOR camogie champions Galway will do battle with Kilkenny next week to determine who will emerge from Group 2 as table-toppers and earn the resultant automatic semi-final spot.
Right now, it is Offaly who prop up the table without any points. Susan Earner’s crew battled all the way to the final whistle against Kilkenny and were particularly competitive in the second half but by then, the result was already assured, the Noresiders leading by 12 points at the interval on the way to a 3-18 to 2-7 triumph at UPMC Nowlan Park.
A draw will be enough for the Mournewomen to cement their elite status, as they have a point on the board having drawn with Antrim previously pointless. The red and blacks fell to Limerick by 2-11 to 0-12 at Cappamore but would have been harbouring quarter-final hopes approaching half-time as they led by nine points with the wind at their backs.
John Lillis’ outfit had the wind in the second half but more significant was the presence of Costelloe, who finished with a tally of 2-10 as she dragged the Shannonsiders back into the game and then hauled them clear of the visitors. Galway had scored nine goals in three games and Siobhán McGrath’s 23rd minute major was an important score as it made it opened up some clear daylight between the teams for the first time.
