Two Killarney women will play for Kerry in Saturday’s Intermediate Camogie All-Ireland quarter-final.

The early anticipated tie, against Galway, is scheduled for Semple Stadium, Thurles at 4 pm.

Killarney Camogie club coach Kate Lynch (pictured) and junior club player Áine Devlin are both members of the Kerry Intermediate team.

This is Kerry’s first appearance in an Intermediate All Ireland quarter-final and comes after an impressive campaign in the group stages, where they finished second.
Galway will be tough opposition, but this team is well used to defying the odds and revel in being the underdogs.

Galway’s intermediates aim to become the county’s third team to reach an All-Ireland camogie semi-final this year.

It’s the counties' first meeting since 2022 when the Tribeswomen were 2-17 to 0-6 victors on their way to All-Ireland success but the Kingdom did win Division 2A of the league in 2023 and played in the top flight this spring.
