The Limerick side carry some real momentum into Sunday's decider. 'The Well' cruised to a county title success following a 2-17 to 0-13 point win over Templeglantine last month.

Having claimed their county title, securing senior camogie for 2026, Patrickswell then turned their attention to proceedings in Munster.

The Limerick intermediate champions faced a stern test in the Munster semi-final, when they welcomed Killard, of Kerry, to Clarina.

Patrickswell managed to eke out a 0-15 to 2-5 win on the day against a physical Killard side. Captain Sarah Carey says her side have been enjoying the journey that this young team has been on.

"Throughout the year, we probably knew as a team that we hadn't performed and we once we clicked, we could produce some real quality.

"We hadn't done that all year so leading up to the county final, I knew it had to come. Even in the warm-up before the final, I just had a feeling that it was all going to fall into place, I knew by the first touch of the girls, I knew from the vibes."

The former Limerick inter-county camogie player outlined how ‘satisfying and rewarding' it was to get over the line in Limerick.

"It was so satisfying and rewarding to get that over the line. It's such a young team and for them to believe in themselves and know what they can do is just fantastic. I was so proud of them, that they were showing what they could produce.

"It's going to take a really good team to beat these girls when they are all clicking. Once we're all in form on any given day I'd be confident that not a lot of teams will stop us."

The Patrickswell captain dismissed any claims that her side would be treating their Munster campaign as 'bonus territory.'

"The typical thing you'd hear is anything outside a county success would be considered bonus territory but as long as I've been playing, Munster championships and Munster finals might never come around again, they can be once in a lifetime opportunities.

"Finals are there to be won and that's the mindset we're going in with. Some people may say we're county champions and that this is bonus territory but this is a massive opportunity to make history for this club. It's what the club really needs at the moment I feel."

Carey states that her side are not bothered by the fact Sunday's final (throw-in 1pm) will be in Cusack Park against their Clare opponents.

"We're not bothered about the venue, once you're beyond the white lines it's up to the team to perform. Anyone you face in a provincial final is going to be tough but this is where we want to be and we're just really looking forward to it."
