The Camogie Association have confirmed they will be restructuring their All-Ireland intermediate and junior competitions due to Covid-19 restrictions.

New directions state that each county can only enter one team in All-Ireland competitions, with no "second" teams allowed in the grades below senior level.

Johnny Greville's side head into their meeting with last years All-Ireland finalists Kilkenny off the back of a three point win over Limerick.

Kilkenny got the better of Waterford by 7 points in their opening group game.
