Kilkenny - All-Ireland Senior Camogie Quarter-Final
At Croke Park · Jones Road, Dublin 3, Co. Dublin
At Croke Park · Jones Road, Dublin 3, Co. Dublin
Kilkenny’s senior camogie team head to Croke Park for the Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship quarter-final - one of the biggest days on the women’s GAA calendar. The Noresiders come into this fixture in fine form, topping Group 2 with four wins from four, posting victories over Limerick, Dublin and Offaly by an average winning margin of eleven points. If you follow Kilkenny camogie, or simply want to see elite hurling skills played at the sport’s cathedral, this is the fixture to attend.
The quarter-final is staged as a double-header with an All-Ireland Senior Hurling semi-final, so you get two top-grade Gaelic games for the price of one ticket. Croke Park holds 82,300 and the atmosphere on a summer Sunday or Saturday there, with a packed stand behind both sets of fans, is genuinely unlike anything else in Irish sport. Camogie is fast, physical and technically demanding - the standard at this stage of the All-Ireland is as high as it gets outside the final itself. Kilkenny’s squad includes key players such as Sarah Barcoe and Aoife Prendergast, with manager Jimmy Meagher’s side having impressed on the scoreboard throughout the group stage. Their opponent will be confirmed by the quarter-final draw following the conclusion of Group 1. Check camogie.ie for the confirmed fixture details and throw-in time once announced.
Croke Park is in Dublin 3, on Jones Road, close to Drumcondra. It is well served by public transport: the Drumcondra commuter rail stop is a short walk away, and Connolly Station is about 20 minutes on foot or a quick DART/Luas cross-city connection. Several Dublin Bus routes stop nearby. If you are travelling from Kilkenny, Bus Eireann and Expressway run direct coaches from Kilkenny City to Dublin, with journey times of roughly two hours. Driving is straightforward on the M9 and M7 - allow extra time for matchday traffic and note that parking at the stadium itself is not available to the general public; park-and-ride options or on-street parking in the Fairview and Clonliffe areas are the practical choices.
A trip to Croke Park for a Kilkenny camogie match is a fine reason to make a weekend of it and return to the county itself - the city and its surrounds have far more to offer than the journey alone. There is more to see in Kilkenny and across Co. Kilkenny.
