Cork manager Paudie Murray has been saying all summer that Kilkenny are significantly superior to anyone else in Camogie at present and within minutes of seeing his side book their place in the Liberty Insurance All-Ireland Senior Final with a narrow 2-9 to 1-9 victory over Galway, he was delivering the message once more.

"I'm pretty relieved at this stage" said Murray on RTÉ2 after Cork saw an eight-point lead reduced to two in the second half.

"Our second half wasn't good, our first half wasn't too bad. Fair play to Galway, this team is a good team. They're coming in with a lot of good players and in team this could be a very good Galway team so you've got to pay credit to them.

"We have a great never-say-die attitude and that's what pulled us through. I don't know did we deserve it really… looking back on it probably not.

"I'm worried going into the final at this stage facing Kilkenny. It probably won't be a great contest; they play 10 behind the ball so we've to do an awful lot better if we've to have any chance.

"It won't be one for the spectator really, a low scoring game. As I said, we've a lot to do to have any chance really. You'd be hoping Kilkenny have an off day and that we'd play way above ourselves to have a chance."
