Maher: Different challenge for Galway with target on back

Aisling Maher, a representative from Dublin, has commented on the challenge Galway faces in defending their All-Ireland camogie title against Cork on Sunday. Galway has never previously won back-to-back titles, with their previous five titles coming as individual victories. Last year, Galway was seen as underdogs by Cork, who were aiming for their third consecutive title, but managed to secure a win by playing to the crowd's expectations.

Maher believes that Galway's manager, Cathal Murray, will need a new strategy this year to tackle the added pressure of potentially becoming the first team to win back-to-back titles in the all-Ireland history. Cork, with 30 titles under their belt, is the most successful county in the sport's history. The prospect of Galway achieving this historic feat will bring extra pressure on the team, not only for Cathal's future but also for the older players who are aiming to add another title to their records.
