New Kilkenny camogie manager Tommy Shefflin
Kilkenny suffered defeat in their first Very Camogie League match of 2025 as a fast finish from Cathal Murray’s charges saw Galway take the spoils in MW Hire Dunmore.
Kilkenny, managed for the first time by former coach Tommy Shefflin, led 0-7 to 0-5 at half-time but Galway managed to dig deep to come away from Dunmore with the two points.
Miriam Bambrick and Katie Nolan gave Kilkenny the ideal start. Although Sabina Rabbitte got the westerners off the mark in reply, Kilkenny continued to control the early stages, racing 0-5 to 0-1 clear as Katie Byrne slotted over.

Two Aoife Prendergast scores continued their momentum but Galway captain Carrie Dolan and Niamh Niland ensured Galway were just two behind at the break.
Pendergast extended Kilkenny’s advantage at the start of the second half but Dolan stood up and fired over a pair of scores to tie the game for the first time. The momentum had swung Galway’s way as Ailish O’Reilly edged her side in front before Rabbitte pushed her side two clear. Prendergast cut the deficit to the minimum, but O’Reilly grabbed a crucial brace of scores for Galway to secure a gritty triumph.
