The Dicksboro players celebrate their success in the Kilkenny Senior Camogie Final.
Another busy weekend of Camogie club action in the books, as nine counties crowned their senior champions and the provincial contests begin to take shape.
Thurles Sarsfields prevailed in the FBD Insurance Tipperary Championship, defeating Clonoulty-Rossmore 5-11 to 4-10 in Semple Stadium.
‘Sars’ had to hold off a late fightback, as their 12-point advantage was reduced to just four, but they ultimately prevailed.
