CAMOGIE NEWS
Sunday 28th August saw our u12 white team take on Ballybacon Grange in Holycross at 10am. It was a thriller of a game, with our girls just missing out by a narrow margin. Both teams were evenly matched, but unfortunately it was not to be. Thanks to all the coaches and the parents for all the work you have put in all year, it is onwards we go, all part of the journey. Training continues every Tuesday evening for all ages from 7 to 8pm. Many thanks to all our supporters over the Summer. We have had a fantastic few months of playing camogie. Don’t forget to clean out the wardrobes for the Community centre clothes collection taking place over the coming weeks.
