Athenry Clinches All-Ireland Final Spot, Dicksboro Falls Short
BREAKING: In a thrilling showdown, Athenry from Galway has secured a spot in the AIB All-Ireland Senior Club Camogie Final, defeating Dicksboro from Kilkenny with a score of 1-9 to 0-10 at Croke Park. This dramatic semi-final took place on October 14, 2023, leaving Dicksboro devastated after their hopes for All-Ireland glory were dashed.
Athenry’s victory was fueled by a pivotal first-half goal from Jessica Gill, which turned the tide of the match. Although Dicksboro started strong with early points from Rachel Dowling, Aoife Prendergast, Amy Clifford, and Jenny Clifford, it was Athenry’s defense, led by Dervla Higgins, that ultimately controlled the game.
The match saw Dicksboro take an early lead, scoring four points in just six minutes. However, Athenry quickly responded, leveling the score by capitalizing on a rebound off the post that Gill converted into a goal. By halftime, Athenry held a narrow lead of 1-4 to 0-6, despite battling a challenging wind.
After the break, Athenry extended their lead with a point from Eva McGlynn. Dicksboro, though resilient, struggled to find the net, with Aoife Prendergast’s exceptional freetaking keeping them in contention. Athenry’s stars, including Sinéad Feeney and top scorer Sabina Rabbitte, outperformed their opponents, ultimately sealing the match with a late surge of 0-3 to 0-1 in the final quarter.
This victory marks a significant achievement for Athenry, who now head to the final on October 28, 2023, after previously defeating reigning champions Sarsfields in the Galway final. The defeat is a heartbreaking moment for Dicksboro, who had aspirations of returning to the All-Ireland stage after their success two years ago.
