Cork secured the All-Ireland senior camogie title with a narrow victory over Galway at Croke Park, marking the third consecutive meeting between the teams in the final (the42.ie). The win came just two weeks after the passing of John Egan, a key figure in the Cork team, as McCartan expressed the desire to honor his memory by winning the title (irishexaminer.com). The Rebels reclaimed the O’Duffy Cup, showcasing their resilience and determination on the historic grounds of Croke Park.

The victory was a significant milestone for Cork, reinforcing their dominance in the sport. The final, held at Croke Park, saw a tightly contested match where the Rebels managed to edge out their rivals.

Meanwhile, Roscommon’s ladies football team celebrated their own success, with Finbar Egan stepping down as manager shortly after leading the team to All-Ireland intermediate glory at Croke Park (independent.ie). Egan’s departure follows a successful campaign that earned the team senior status, setting the stage for future ambitions.
