Ailish O’Reilly has revealed how Galway used talk of Cork’s All-Ireland camogie three-in-a-row bid as a motivating tool.

“This is sweet,” the forward told The Sunday Game after the Westerners’ dramatic 1-14 to 1-13 victory.

“When they got the goal, and to respond the way Carrie did shows a lot about this team after we were written off so much.

“All we heard all week was the three-in-a-row. We were there to take it off them. And I think we proved a lot of people wrong.

“It suited us down to the ground, all the talk was about Cork. It felt like we were just going to show up and they were going to hand them the trophy. We were so riled up.”
