Atkinson: nerves will play a part

The Oulart-The Ballagh team that will take to the Croke Park  field for Sunday's All-Ireland senior camogie club final won't lack in experience - but captain Karen Atkinson says the 'will to win' will be key against Mullagh of Galway.

"There is a good bit of experience there between club and county and a lot of the girls would have played in Croke Park before but a club All-Ireland final is going to be a completely different game, a completely different atmosphere," the  Oulart captain said to The Irish Independent.

"No matter what, girls are going to be nervous, whether you've played there before or not. It's still a big build-up. It's a senior club All-Ireland.

"I know we have the likes of the Leacys there, the Jacobs, Shelly Kehoe, Shauna Sinnott that have all played in Croke Park.

"Experience is one thing, but I think the will and want to win is the rest of it. Whoever's going to want it the most I think it will come down to Sunday."
