RECENT ALL-IRELAND CHAMPIONS Cork’s Milford and Wexford’s Oulart-the-Ballagh are hoping to claim AIB provincial senior camogie club titles this weekend.

Milford – who have won the last two All Ireland titles – are up against their near neighbours from Limerick, Granagh-Ballingarry, on Saturday afternoon in Charleville.

Recent Cork All-Ireland winners Anna Geary, Aisling Thompson and Maria Walsh are part of the Milford setup.

Granagh-Ballingarry can call on Fiona Hickey, Sarah Carey, Aoife Sheehan and Mairead Fitzgerald who all won All-Ireland intermediate medals with Limerick in September.

On Sunday afternoon Oulart-the-Ballagh – who have current Wexford players in Karen Atkinson, Mary Leacy, Shauna Sinnott, Shelley Kehoe and Ursula Jacob – take on Kilkenny’s Piltown in Camross in the Leinster senior final.
