Waterford make their first All-Ireland Senior Camogie semi-final appearance in over 60 years on Saturday.

The Déise celebrated victory over Limerick by 10 points in last weekend's quarter-final, ending the hump that they begrudgingly held since 1959.

Further to the momentum being displayed, Waterford showed their goal-scoring threat against Limerick, with Beth Carton and Niamh Rockett each raising the green flag

They'll face a powerful Cork side who have hit the net seven times in five outings.

Kilkenny and Galway have met in the 2019 and 2020 All-Ireland Finals.

The 2019 title went to Galway on a score line of 3-14 to 0-17, before the Cats exacted their revenge the following year to win 1-14 to 1-11.

Kilkenny had a longer route to the quarter-finals, but brushed aside Dublin by a score of 2-24 to 1-11.

A close game is all but assured between these counties.
