History will be made in Croke Park on Sunday when a new name will be inscribed on the Bill Carroll Cup as Sarsfields of Galway take on Slaughtneil of Derry in the All Ireland Senior Club Camogie final at 3.15pm. Galway clubs have won the All Ireland title 9 times in 27 final appearances, with Pearses (5), Oranmore, Athenry, Mullagh and Killimor all on the Roll of Honour. However, recent years have not been kind to Galway clubs, who have lost the last 4 finals and since Pearses completed 3 in a row in 2002, only Killimor (2010 - pictured above) have managed to win on the biggest day in the club Camogie calendar.
