Speaking at it, the president of the Camogie Association, Hilda Breslin, said: “We are delighted to launch the 2022 Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Camogie Championships today. It’s wonderful to have the expectation of another eagerly awaited championship season of camogie.
“This year, our wonderful new sponsorship with Glen Dimplex will allow us to increase our promotion and, together with great RTÉ coverage, showcase our game and players to a wider audience.
“The championships provide us with the most exciting, skilful and entertaining games each year. I am confident that the 2022 championship will not disappoint. I wish all the teams the best of luck as we anticipate what will be a season of old and new rivalries on the pitch in the race for All-Ireland glory.”
