The county defeated Waterford in Croke Park by a score of 19 points, reclaiming the title of All-Ireland senior camogie champions for the first time since 2018.

The group boarded a train in Dublin at 3 p.m., paused in Mallow, and then arrived in Cork at Kent Station at about 6 p.m. The squad rode on an open-top bus down Patrick Street to the Grand Parade, which ended in front of the Imperial Hotel.

“Let's get a sea of red in Cork this evening on an occasion young and old can enjoy,” Cork Camogie wrote on Twitter.

The crew went to the children's hospital on Temple Street in Dublin this morning.

The O'Duffy Cup was taken along when team captain Amy O'Connor, Izzy O'Regan, and their manager Matthew Twomey toured many wards.

Daniel McCarthy, who is also from Cork, was one of the patients they encountered. According to the players, meeting the many kids was a humbling experience.
