CAMOGIE CLUB
Our U16s played Clonoulty last Friday evening and our girls were up against a very strong side but despite this, our girls never gave up. While it did not go our way, we are extremely proud of them all. Huge thanks to all who travelled on the night and our next fixture is against Thurles Gaels, date to be confirmed. Last Tuesday July 21 saw our U12 blue team take on Holycross in their first match of this year winning 2.2 to 2.1. It was a fantastic match fought to the bitter end by both teams. Each one of the girls showed great determination and skill, and were not leaving anything behind, even though going in at half time 2 points down. They all defended, hooked, blocked and our goalie was also on fire. Well done girls and well-done coaches, keep up the good work. Thanks to all parents for keeping in line with our covid requirements. We are really looking forward to the next game. Training continues every Tuesday night at 6.30pm for u6, u8, and u10s and 6.45pm for u12s, u14s, u16s and minors.
It is going to be very busy with matches for the next few weeks and we would urge girls to continue hurling at home and make sure to stretch out before and after every training session as the season will be short this year and we do not want to see girls getting any injuries.
