Galway's U16 Camogie Team will bid to win back to back All-Ireland titles on Saturday when they take on Kilkenny in the final at St Brendan's Park in Birr (Throw in - 3pm).

It has been a good season for Galway, winning five out of their six matches played so far with wins over Cork, Waterford, Limerick, and twice over Tipperary.

Their only defeat coming to next saturday's opponents who they lost to by a single point.

Ahead of the final, Galway Manager Brian Griffin spoke to John Mulligan.

Three weeks since the disappointment of going down to Cork in the Lidl National League Final, Galway begin their championship aspirations this Sunday (3rd May 2026) when they defend their TG4 Connacht senior championship against arch rivals Mayo.

The Tribeswomen are going for a 20th title overall, and three-in-a-row, against a Mayo outfit that haven't tasted provincial silverware since 2023.

Leading up to the game, Galway manager Daniel Moynihan has been chatting to Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly and first they looked back on the league final loss.
