The U8 camogie season came to a smashing end last week! It was never in doubt that these girls would hit the target and find lots of treats! From the very first training session to now, their striking, blocking, scoring, defending and team work has improved tenfold and best of all they do it with a smile on their faces and lots of giggles 😀 So to finish up, they deservedly had lots of treats and fun games thanks to Anna, Alan, Moira and Adrienne and pretty snazzy new water bottles and grips thanks to Gearoid. Keep up all the practice, a super bunch of girls.
Well done to our U10 girls who put on a great display in Ballingarry this evening (15th September) in a tough competitive game of camogie, exceptional work rate & great skill was on show.
Thanks to Ballingarry for the game.
Under 6 Camogie: Our season came to an end with our final game against John Lockes in Callan on Saturday morning 11th September. The girls were kept busy this year with training every Wednesday night and five games against Tullaroan, Freshford and John Lockes. With a panel of 19 enthusiastic players, the improvement in the team was evident from game to game. We have no doubt this group will continue to develop into a fantastic team in the years ahead. Missing from photo on our last day out were Holly Bourke, Jasmine Davis, Hannah Corrigan and sisters Daisy & Darcie Fitzpatrick.

The girls played some super Camogie showing great skill with superb scores, good defending and brilliant team work. Special word of thanks to our referees Kirsten & Brian.We would like to thank the parents in attendance for their support .
MINOR CAMOIGE 2020——— we remained in ROINN A and we had expectations for the class of Minor 2020. The challenge to be competitive was made more difficult for all due to COVID 19. However, we had a bunch of girls who had shown great character over the past few years (U16 Roinn A Champions 2018) so we had expectations of ourselves. One of keys to success was staying injury free so losing Kate McCluskey was a cruel blow to this group. This injury on top of others leading up to the Semi Final v Dicksboro obviously became too much on the day and we failed to meet our expectations. That was a pity but this group have a huge amount to look forward to as they develop their camogie careers. Read more
