SUNDAY'S AIB All-Ireland Senior Camogie Club Championship final will see Milford of Cork take on Galway’s Killimor in a repeat of the 2013 decider.

In 2013, it was Milford who came away 3-6 to 1-5 victors and they will be bidding to make it three titles in four years.

The north Cork side booked their place as a result of a narrow 1-9 to 1-8 success over reigning champions Oulart-the-Ballagh.

Emer Watson and Laura Stack were key players for Milford, grabbing scores from the placed ball and play respectively.

They also boast household names Anna Geary and Ashling Thompson who have been the most recent holders of the O’Duffy Cup.

Killimor overcame Loughgiel Shamrocks, 2-7 to 1-5, with former Galway star Brenda Hanney giving a player-of-the-match performance hitting 1-3. 

Susan Keane also provided a scoring threat and the westerners will be hoping that both can step it up again as they try to claim their second crown having tasted success in 2011.

The intermediate decider will be contested by Galway’s Eyrecourt and Tipperary’s Cahir after they saw off Eglish and Tullaroan respectively.

Dual star Róisín Howard will once again be a vital player for a young Cahir side as they will face an Eyrecourt side with a reputation for goalscoring with Allstar Molly Dunne, Cora McEvoy, Laura Loughnane and Laoise Stones in their ranks.
