Codd a vital cog

CAMOGIE ALL-IRELAND FINAL - INTERMEDIATE Antrim v Wexford: ANTRIM APPEAR in their fourth final in 12 months

CAMOGIE ALL-IRELAND FINAL - INTERMEDIATE Antrim v Wexford:ANTRIM APPEAR in their fourth final in 12 months. They captured the Premier Junior title last year after a dramatic replay, while they lost the League Two final, by the slimmest of margins in April.

However, they face a tough proposition in Wexford who are seasoned campaigners and driven by the pain of last year’s defeat.

Wexford will rely upon score-getter Ciara O’Connor and the lighting pace of Linda Bolger, while Áine Codd will be at the heart of the defence.

Spurred on by last year, Wexford should prove too strong.

ANTRIM: M Graham; C Carey, A Martin, A McCall; B Orchin, E Connolly, A Jackson; C Doherty, R Torney; M Convery, N McGuinness, C Hamill; K McAleese, J Adams, L McAleese.

WEXFORD: H Jacob; C Atkinson, B Holohan, F Doran; L O'Leary, A Codd, L Bolger; S Kehoe, S Nolan; L Codd, B Curran, S Redmond; C O'Connor, F Rochford, L Bolger.
