The Liberty Insurance Camogie All Ireland Senior Final will be the first All Ireland to be played at Croke Park this season and will see a return to the stadium for the two teams that served up such a cracker last season.
Galway are bidding to win their 4th title and Kilkenny their 14th and while there will not be a repeat of the 25,000 fans that were there in September 2019, the adrenaline will still be running as fast through the veins of the players.
The match will be broadcast live on the RTÉ 2 as well online via the RTÉ Player worldwide with coverage beginning at 6.10 pm.
“Saturday’s Final promises to be a fantastic occasion and a fitting end to this year’s Championship, brought live to television audiences at home and abroad from headquarters in Croke Park,” said Camogie Association President Kathleen Woods.
“The dedication which these players have shown, along with all those who have taken part in this year’s Championships, is truly remarkable and they have entertained us with some incredible displays of Camogie over the last two months.
“For the players of Galway and Kilkenny, it promises to be a momentous day as they represent their families, Clubs and Counties in an All-Ireland Final which is the pinnacle for any player. I wish them all the best of luck and hope that we have an exciting game to round-off a truly unique All-Ireland Championship.”
“Throughout this challenging year, Liberty has continued to put people first in the fight against COVID-19, from our €1.85million donation to ALONE, Barnardos and Pieta, on behalf of our customers, to ensuring that this year’s Championships reached every home in Ireland and beyond – at a time when the escapism of sport is very much needed,” added Stuart Trotter, Coutry Manager for Liberty Insurance in Ireland.
“When our sponsorship began in 2013 our focus was to raise the profile and exposure of players and the sport of Camogie. In 2019, Liberty made history for the sport by enabling the broadcasting of the group stages of the Championship via live streaming on our Facebook page.”
“Little did we know back then how integral this streaming would be in 2020 in light of the COVID-19 restrictions. Camogie matches were streamed live on each group stage weekend of this year’s Senior Championship; the initiative has been a huge success with Camogie being watched in China, Canada and even further afield.”
“We wish Galway and Kilkenny the very best of luck, win or lose, reaching the Final is an incredible achievement – especially during this challenging year. We are really excited for what will no doubt be a very memorable Senior Championship Final.”
