Congratulations to our Under 16 squad who brought home the
County 'B' Championship on Wednesday evening! After an epic battle with
Avondale, our superior teamwork came out on top on a scoreline of 4-5 to
4-0. With heroines all round the pitch as well as those on the sideline, this
was a well deserved victory - after an hour of intense play where we
always seemed to have another player in support! Nearly half of the
team contributed to the scoreboard and everybody fought all the way in what
was a highly physical encounter. Tired and sore limbs told the tale - as we took
home the Cup we wondered why girls of this age should be so sore after a
Camogie match? The Celebrations back in Kilcoole were memorable as the
team and supporters paraded up and down the Main Street ...and up
again to allow everybody to share in the success!
Thanks to everybody who
came to support us - special mention of Mairead and Tara who couldn't play
because of injury and illness.
The successful Panel was: Sinead Kinsella,
Darragh Lacey, Laura Flood, Sarah Burke, Orlaith Whelan, Aisling McCabe, Karen
Douglas, Caressa O'Toole, Sinead Kelly, Erin Horan, Aoife Kelly, Sarah Gammell,
Rachel Finnegan, Alana Dole, Tara Brady, Mairead Grennan, Caoimhe Dempsey, Ciara
Cunningham and Aisling Reidy.
Saturday was another busy day
for our younger players. The Under 12s accepted an invitation to the inaugural
Arklow Rocks Tournament where they reached the Final, losing out by the
narrowest of margins. Many thanks to Arklow Rocks for the Invitation and for
their hospitality on the day. At the same time, the stars of the future were in
action in the Bray Emmetts County Blitz. Under 10s and Under 8s travelled to
play 3 matches each against opposition from around the County. Again hospitality
- copious cups of tea and coffee as well of sacks of goodies - made this another
memorable day - Thanks to Bray Emmetts for hosting this
event.
Now that everybody is back at school, remember Training
goes ahead on Tuesday evenings. The All Ireland Camogie Final will be
played in Croke Park on Sunday September 12th - don't forget to put your name
down for the bus.
Good Luck to all our players who head back to school
this week - and especially to all who are attending the brand new Kilcoole
Primary School
