It's been a busy few days for Cork senior camogie team captain Molly Lynch, but she’s taking it all in her stride.
On Monday, the Sarsfields player won the M Donnelly All-Ireland Poc Fada in Louth, securing a fourth title in a row.
Having clinched the All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship last year, along with landing her fourth poc fada title, and claiming numerous underage medals with club and county, Lynch is as hungry as ever heading into Sunday’s Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Senior Camogie final.
Cork have been in flying form all year. They reach an average of 27 points per game with players like Amy O’Connor (4-28), Katrina Mackey (3-19) and Orlaith Cahalane (3-07) all shooting well.
Crucially, they only concede around 8.33 points per game.
It has made them favourites for every piece of silverware they have fought for this season. But Lynch says they are only focused on themselves.
"All we are looking at are our own standards," she told RTÉ Sport.
"Our workrate will define everything so that’s what we are looking at on Sunday.
"We know Galway well and they know us so we are really looking forward to the game. There has been a lot of support for us in Cork, the flags have stayed out since the hurling final and we are hoping to get a lot of backing from the Cork public."
The Glen Dimplex Championship finals take place as a triple-header on Sunday with teams competing for the Seaghan O'Duffy Cup (senior), Jack McGrath Cup (intermediate), and Kathleen Mills Cup (premier junior).
Reigning champions Cork had a resounding win against Dublin in UPMC Nowlan Park, whilst Galway saw off Tipperary by the narrowest of margins of just one point.
Galway captain Roisin Black says the Tipperary game was a tense encounter.
But with only one loss all year and a draw with Wexford, their composure got them through.
"We came from a few points down, so it was a great manner in which to win," she says.
"We knew what Tipp would bring and we know how strong Cork are but again all our focus is on ourselves. We have seen a number of scenarios on the field this year and have responded to them and we will look to deal with what we see on the field again on Sunday."
Cork are also hoping to be victorious in the Intermediate Championship. They’ll take on Kilkenny in the final.
Tipperary are back in the Premier Junior final this year after losing last year to Clare. This time around they take on Laois in the race for the Kathleen Mills cup.
