This year almost 50 girls aged between 5 and 13 attended our annual summer camp. The girls were coached by some of our own Senior team members, Rose Harrington, Maria Moran, Ciara O Connell, Aoife Kearney and Deirdre O Leary, as well as Tipperary Senior Camogie captain, Jill Horan. Luckily, the weather obliged over the course of the 3 days so we managed to stay outdoors. Great fun was had improving skills, practicing drills and playing games.
On the final day of the camp we had some well well known GAA stars down to visit the girls. Everyone was delighted to meet Cork dual player Eoin Cadogan, Cork Footballers Nicholas Murphy and Colm O Neill, and Cork Camogie player Amanda O Regan. They all took time to chat to the girls, join in with shooting practice and other drills, and of course to pose for photos and sign autographs.
In recognition of their effort, all participants were presented with a medal and certificate at the end of the 3 days.
Many thanks to everybody wo helped out during the camp, especially Niamh O Callaghan, Gillian Kiely, Paddy Finn, John Middleton and Sharon Connell, and also to Texaco, who supplied refreshements.
Thanks again to Eoin, Nicholas, Colm and Amanda. We wish them all the very best of luck in their respective All Ireland Semi-Finals.
