KIT
BOOST FOR CARRIG GIRLS (June 2006)
(Article by Howard Crowdy) |
The
Carrigaline camogie clubs File team received a welcome boost
prior to the forthcoming Féile competition with the presentation
of new kit bags, jerseys and gear from local sponsors.
They were presented to them at a reception held in the GAA Club
in Carrigaline. The occasion also marked the contribution played
by last years Féile team who were unlucky not to have
progressed into the semi-finals of the tournament. The have,
since then, captured the South East title and were duly presented
with their medals on the evening.
Coach Brian Maye remarked that this years Féile team
would be playing in Watergrasshill on the first day of the Féile,
followed by the parade in Cork and the final group of games
in Newtownshandrum the following day, with this the second year
in-a-row that the Féile tournament was being held in
Cork.
He went on the pay tribute to the hard working committee of
the camogie club and to the group of coaches who manage the
teams, especially Paul Buckley, Elaine Egan, Angela Egan, Tom
Jones, Eleanor O’Keeffe and Marie Scully. He added that
it was great to see so many parents attend the presentations
and called for their support and assistance over the coming
year to help out in any way the could to maintain the standard
of play and training and cater for the ever increasing numbers
in the club.
He also went on to outline the performance of last year Féile
team who were a credit to themselves, their club, county and
province and thanked Pat Moran for this support of the team
last year, and Marie Scully and Noreen Foley for their support
in bringing in sponsors for the team.
There were thanks for the efforts of the fundraising committee.
Expenses have to be covered and the club has undertaken a number
of recent fundraising activities, such as a very successful
table quiz and more recently the Philip O’Doherty Memorial
Walk which was held along the Crosshaven walkway.
He said “the Féile competition is a huge competition
and these are the very best u14 clubs in the country”.
Hopes are high that the team will perform well in the tournament
and are currently well placed in the City and County League,
with four wins.
The team were presented with kit bags and jerseys courtesy of
Phelan’s Pharmacy of Carrigaline, Pacific Manufacturing
and Michel the Jewellers, with Rosarie O’Leary of Phelans
representing the sponsors during the course of the evening.
They not only presented the jerseys but the medals to the now
u15 team.
Tom Kiely, chairman of the Carrigaline Camogie Club went on
to wish the Féile team the very best in the tournament
which will take place on the weekend of June 16-17, and also
called upon those present to bring along as much support for
the team over the weekend as possible.
