Speaking at the launch of Camogie Leagues early this week, Meabh Cahalane, from one of Cork’s great sporting families, is eager for another season at senior inter-county level.

Cork Camogie faces Waterford in the Very National League Division 1A on Saturday in SuperValu Párc Uí Chaoimh, and Cahalane knows the challenge ahead. “We went away to Waterford, played them at WIT, and only won by a point. It was a really tough game,” she recalls. “We’ve gotten quite familiar with them over the years in the league and Munster Championship.”

Looking ahead, she emphasizes the growing competitiveness in camogie. “It isn’t just Cork, Kilkenny, and Galway anymore—teams like Waterford, Tipperary, and Dublin are really pushing on.”

After last year’s All-Ireland triumph, Cahalane hopes Cork can build on their depth and resilience. “We had a strong panel and a strong bench, which made the difference. Hopefully, we’ll make an impression in the league from the get-go.”
