Galway play their second game in this year's Very National Camogie League on Saturday (1st March 2025) away to Waterford.
Carrie Dolan and the evergreen Ailish O’Reilly came up with some important scores as Galway got the wraps off their season with a win down in UPMC Nowlan Park over Kilkenny.
It’s another away day for Cathal Murray’s crew, and a first home tie for the Suirsiders and with both sides assimilating younger players into the panels and dealing with injuries, it should be an enlightening game.
Having faced the All-Ireland champions, Cork in the opening round, Waterford must now take on the runners-up. Beth Carton remains their attacking talisman but the concession of early goals had them on the back foot. They showed good resolve in the second half, however, without ever looking like reeling in the Rebels.
Galway senior manager Cathal Murray gave his thoughts to Galway Bay FM's Tommy Devane.
