The game was originally meant to take place last Sunday (11th December) in Kilmallock before weather conditions forced the postponement of the tie.

Cahir in Co. Tipperary is now the venue as Salthill/Knocknacarra look to become the first Galway team in 12 years to win this competition when they take on Naomh Abán.

The Cork side were intermediate winners in 2003 but the county has a rich pedigree in this competition with eight victories, including Donoughmore in 2019. Galway's only previous success came from Caltra Cuans in 2010.

Salthill/Knocknacarra qualified following a 1-7 to 1-6 win against Dublin's O'Dwyers. Lauren O'Donnell got the goal along with three points each from Laura Kelly and Kate Thompson (who kicked the winner).

Before the original fixture, Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly chatted to Salthill/Knocknacarra captain Ailbhe Finnerty at the currentaccount.ie LGFA media day.
