1 week ago | rte.ie | James McMahon

It's a few days on from Cork claiming the Very Camogie League Division 1A title and also a few days out from the Rebels' Munster Championship semi-final against Clare. Games are coming thick and fast, with the All-Ireland series commencing on the second last weekend in May. And Amy O'Connor would have it no other way.
Comer hopes 'bank of resilience' will see him flourish

The fact that Galway reached last year's All-Ireland football final was an achievement when you consider the injuries to so many key players throughout the year. Shane Walsh, Seán Kelly and Damien Comer were either absent for periods or saw limited action as the Tribes first of all stayed in the league's top flight and then reached the Sam Maguire decider. Early on in the final against Armagh, Rob Finnerty had to go off, depriving the Tribes of an able free-taker.

A goal should have remained at four points

Who needs those two-pointers if you can find the route to goal? Well, Kerry can. Across the league, the newly crowned top-tier champions found the net 17 times and in their last three games, including the final against Mayo, they did not have any need for a two-pointer. They raised 63 white flags in those trio of games, while hitting the net six times for good measure. League champions for a 24th time. No surprise as Jack O'Connor's men were the form team across the final month of the campaign.
'Healthy panel' has Galway in a good place

A case of what might have been on that last Sunday in July 2024. Rob Finnerty was imposing himself on matters early on against Armagh in the All-Ireland final. And then after ten minutes that was that. Finnerty had to leave the stage, a knee issue that had been giving him trouble in advance of the decider flared again. He watched on as a tit-for-tat contest eventually saw his side edged out by a point. It was a second defeat in three years for the Tribes.
