Tipperary Camogie is looking forward to major celebrations on Sunday in Croke Park with a win by the Junior Team hopefully the icing on the cake.
The Tipperary team managed by Bill Mullaney will take on Laois in the All Ireland Junior Final as part of a triple header with a 1.05pm throw in – Sinead Meagher of Kiladangan will captain the team that was defeated by Clare in the 2023 final.

In all the team appeared in 8 Senior Finals in a row between 1999 and 2006 with two further All Ireland Senior titles in 2003 and 2004.
