Ailish O'Reilly was crowned player of the match for Galway and confirmed her teammates were eager to get back into the final following the 'heartbreak' of last year's defeat against Cork.
'We could obviously only take one day at a time,' she said, 'I think we believed in ourselves and kept all the noise outside of our group.'

'We have Galway now in two weeks time and we're going to prepare for that for the next two weeks. We're going to go at it.'
The clash between Cork and Galway is a repeat of last year's All Ireland Senior Camogie final, with Cork hoping to make it three-in-a-row — a feat which hasn't been completed since Wexford in 2020 to 2012.
Last year, the difference was all in one single goal with the finals core 1-16 to 16 points.
The repeat clash between the two teams takes place in two weeks time on Sunday, August 10 at Croke Park.
Meanwhile, Derry's camogie team were relegated to the All Ireland Intermediate Camogie Championship for 2026 following a defeat in the relegation play-offs against Wexford earlier in the month.
The Oak Leaf County lost against the Model County in Louth on a huge score of 4-21 to nine points.
