An exciting All-Ireland is in store with neighbouring counties Tipperary and Laois going head to head. The Leinster side are hoping to take some silverware however the power of one of the top camogie counties in the competition is ominous for them.
Many of the Tipperary players train with their senior counterparts so they are used to mixing it with a team at the top level giving them a strong advantage.
The underdogs Laois are Division 3A runners-up (they lost by a point to Armagh in the final having beaten the Orchard girls in the round-robin) and qualified for the All-Ireland semi-final as easy winners of their group.
They overcame Cavan in the semi-final to seal a first appearance in an All-Ireland final since their 2015 success, their sole triumph at this grade after losing the decider in the previous two campaigns.
Tipperary, who are chasing a third title, having won most recently in 2001 but lost last year’s final, reached the Division 2B final.
They only lost that by three points to intermediate finalists Cork and indeed, won the Munster intermediate crown subsequently.
Managed by former senior boss Bill Mullaney, they had to battle hard to overcome Armagh, who had just beaten Laois in their League final, so it looks like there won’t be much between them.
