Intermediate camogie vs Danesfort

Well done to our intermediate camogie team who have won the 3rd round of the league. On Tuesday 22nd July the girls were up against Danesfort in Danesfort on a warm summer’s evening. Again, injuries were affecting the numbers but we had a panel of 17 on the night. St Brigid’s got off to a great start, scoring 3 points before Danesfort got a look in. Great passing between the half back line and the half forward line meant the ball travelled fast up the field and from this 9 points were scored from play in the 1st half. Read more

U-16 camogie vs Muckalee

St. Brigid’s vs. Muckalee
Venue: Tom Ryall Park
Date: 07/07/14
Score: St Brigid’s 0-6
Muckalee 1-2

The game took place on a dull, wet evening and to start, both teams were contesting well. The game went without a score from both sides until well into the first half, a goal came for Muckalee after a free was taken and found the St. Brigid’s net, an unlucky score to concede. There were a number of hard fought battles in the St. Brigid’s full forward line and the girls were kept out by a strong back line for Muckalee. Read more

Intermediate camogie all-county league

Well done to our intermediate camogie team who won the 3rd round of the all-county league on Wednesday night 2nd July. The opposition were James Stephens and the girls had home venue. Injuries and other commitments meant there was only a panel of 15 available for the night.
It took a while for the girls to get into their stride but the points came and two goals followed from Amy O’Connor and Laureena Murphy with great play-making from Bernie Ryall. There was great work from all over the field and this meant they led at half time with a score of 2-05 to 1-03. Read more

Minor camogie championship

Minor B St. Brigid’s vs St. Anne’s
Venue: Galmoy
Date: 30/6/14
Referee: Anthony Costigan

St. Brigid’s went into this game on the back of two wins from two games, but short a number of key players.

From the outset St. Anne’s stamped their authority on the game, and while Brigid’s tried hard it seemed that most of the possession they won, they gave straight back with poor passing. Read more
