What a wonderful day the U10 camogie girls had on Sunday last 10th Sept. We departed the pitch in Kilmanagh at 9.30am with an excited bus load of players, brothers, sisters, friends, Mammies and Daddies. Spirits were high as we travelled to Kilmacud Crokes to play a match, especially after our Intermediates had such glory in the All Ireland 7’s the day before. Well done! Read more

A huge well done to the Intermediates who completed a very physically and mentally challenging but enjoyable day on Saturday 26th August at Derg Isle Team Building Centre in Scariff, Co. Clare. Thank you very much to the centre for their work with the girls yesterday making it a very worthwhile experience for the team and management. A special congratulations to the girls for smashing the ladies team’s record in the log run at the end of the day. Highly recommended for any sports teams!

A big well done must go to our U12 girls who played their hearts out against rivals Tullaroan in their County Semi Final on Monday night, 28th August. Rain, wind and home venue for the opposing team weren’t going to deter the girls and they started the game on a strong note. Everyone from number 1 to 19 had a great impact, fighting for every ball and never giving up. Read more
Well done to the St. Brigid’s girls in the U14 blitz in Thurles on Sun 27th Aug where Kilkenny beat Cork in the final. Participating in the U14 Kilkenny squads were the following St. Brigid’s girls -Reece Delaney, Caragh Keating, Ellie O’Neill, Kate McCluskey and Roisin Casey. Congratulations and well done to all involved on a great achievement!
Nine of the St Brigid’s U8 Camogie girls took part in the annual Tullaroan camogie biltz. They played their hearts out against Johnstown/Galmoy, host club Tullaroan and finally Freshford. All 9 girls gave a great display of their camogie skills and as usual never gave up. Most of this team are still eligible for U8 for the next year or two. So plenty of potential stars for the future. We have one Go Games blitz left to be played on our home turf in Kilmanagh and this should round off a very successful season for the girls. -Report by John Cahill
