Carrigaline Camogie Club

Last Saturday we played Valley Rovers in round 3 of the U11 Carrigdhoun Camogie League(South East) in Brinny GAA Grounds.
It was an outstanding display of Camogie from the Carrig Girls. Unfortunately Valleys were only able to field 13 players on the day our girls came away with a comprehensive victory. The score at half time was 3-1 to no score. Scores coming from Lisa Kiely with 1-1 from 45’s, and with Kelly Williams and Leah Deasy putting a goal each on the score board.
Even though the match was evened up in the second half with the introduction of 2 U12 players for Valley Rovers, Carrigaline still kept the upper hand through 2 Lauren O’Brien goals. We rotated the goalie throughout the game and during her stint between the posts Lauren Bickerstaffe pulled off a fantastic save to leave the final score at 5-1 to 0-0.
Special mention to Sara Healy who played her first game of camogie on Saturday, and also to Doireann Hogan and Kate O’Brien who came with us for the day.
All girls performed fantastically on the day and should be proud of themselves.
The Team: Kelly Williams(1-0), Claire Stack, Aisling Ryle, Molly Ryan, Lisa Kiely(1-1), Leah Deasy(1-0), Roisin O’Connell, Lauren O’Brien(2-0), Caoimhe Hogan, Caitlin Kearney, Caoimhe O’Regan, Doireann Hogan, Lauren Bickerstaffe, Kate O’Brien, Rachel Long, Sara Healy.

Please contact me through the comment form if you wish to purchase some.

Our Senior team opened their championship campaign against The Glen in wet and miserable conditions in Shanbally. Despite the absence of some key players, it was a closely fought match, with The Glen only really getting on top in the final quarter. It finished on a scoreline of 3-9 to 1-2.

Since the Senior Chamionship is run on a league style format, our girls still have 3 more games in the qualifying stages. This evening they come up against Bishopstown at 7.30pm in the Cork Camogie Grounds at Castle Road, Blackrock. All support would be appreciated.
They also have to play Éire Óg and Killeagh. The dates for these games are Friday 30th July and Tuesday 24th August respectively. Dates and pitches have not yet been arranged.

Recently Carrigaline Camogie Club has seen several of its underage players donning the red and white jersey to represent Cork. Congratulations to all girls involved. It is a huge achievement to have their skills recognised at this level.

Jackie Meehan, Ellen Twomey, Shelly Collins, Kiera O Leary, Kayleigh O Connor and Lisa Kiely who all made the Cork Primary Games team.
Laura Dwane and Rachel O Shea were both selected for the Cork Colleges team.
Amy Maye and Anna O Keeffe are on the U-15 Development Squad.

Several other players were also called to Cork trials but unfortunately, narrowly missed the cut.
