GAA: Derry camogs' fate out of their own hands ahead of final group game

Liberty Insurance All-Ireland Intermediate Camogie Championship

Derry v Carlow Saturday (5.00) - Swatragh

Derry’s All-Ireland camogie hopes are outside their control, but they must beat Carlow on Saturday in Swatragh (5.00) to have any chance of making the semi-finals.

The draw with Cork was supposed to set unbeaten Derry in pole position for a qualification spot

However, after a third draw, against Laois (2-8 to 0-14), Derry go into the final round of games needing to beat Carlow but need Laois to do them a favour at home to Down.

If Carlow were to beat Derry, a win for Laois would take them through – so it is all to play for this weekend.
