Féile Skills Star Competition 2013 Well Done to Lisa Kiely who won the Cork section of the Féile Skills Star competition. This involved ground striking skills, free taking, long puck, jab lifting, soloing and striking. Lisa came 4th in the All-Ireland Féile Skillstar competition in Rathkeale this weekend. Lisa had a perfect score in her first three rounds , where she displayed the skills of ground striking, jab lifting and striking on the run, jab lift, soloing and striking for goal. She was very unlucky to lose out on the prizes by the narrowest of margins in the final round. We were delighted to be asked to take part in the inaugural U13 Blitz organised by Mayfield Garda Station and Brian Dillon's Camogie Club. 12 teams took part on the day, and in the qualifying stages we played Sarsfields, St. Vincent's and Bishopstown, winning all three games. This earned them a spot in the semi-final where they overcame St. Finbarr's. They were very unlucky to lose out to a strong Blarney team in the final, but were happy to come away with the Shield. There were some excellent performances from Jessica Fleming who marshalled the goal with great confidence throughout the day, Megan Ahern and Rachel O Regan defended superbly in the full and half back lines respectively, while Lauren Middleton, Danú NíThuama, Sophie Kelleher and Mollie Barrett all made great scoring contributions during the day. Well done to all of our U-13 girls who put in a fantastic effort on a very hot, sunny day. Pan Celtic 2013 Our Intermediate team played Iniscarra (Cork), Myshall (Carlow), St. Vincents (Dublin) Glynn-Barntown (Wexford). Our U16 team played Na Piarsaigh (Cork) Clara (Kilkenny) Mt. Leinster Rangers (Carlow) and St. Brigids (Armagh). After winning all of their qualifying games they were unlucky to lose out to St. Cillians (Offaly) in the final. ALL-IRELAND FINAL 2012 Despite Cork's loss, our young players had a great day out at the recent All-Ireland Camogie Final in Croke Park.

This year's summer camp was a great success with over 50 girls and 6 coaches participating over the 3 days. The girls learned lots of new skills such as freetaking, sideline cuts, soloing picking . All of the girls who took part looked pretty in pink, after donning their exclusively designed O' Neill's summer camp jersey. We were lucky enough to have our own Nicholas Murphy as well as Cork's Orla Cotter come and talk the girls about their experiences of playing at Intercounty level. We were also very fortunate in the club this year to be well represented on various Cork teams, from Primary Development teams up to Intermediate level. On the final day of the camp these Carrigaline and Cork players also visited to show our young players the possibilities that are open to them as well as the wealth of talent we have on our own doorstep. Harry and the U-9 team that took part in the Go Games Gala 25/8/2012 Well Done to our U-18 team who beat Millstreet in the U18 League Final. Carrigaline racked up a tally of 5 unanswered points during the first half, but Milstreet stole 2 goals against the run of play just before the half time whistle to leave the bare minimum between the teams. Both sides fought tooth and nail in the second half, but Carrigaline pushed ahead on the scoreboard. As the match neared the final whistle Carrigaline were the stronger unit, with all 13 players giving their all. After a fantastic display of Camogie the game ended Carrigaline 3-8 Milstreet 3-2 It was a well deserved victory for this Carrigaline team, as they have been knocking on the door for the past few years. .

This year 52 members of Carrigaline Camogie Club travelled to the Pan Celtic Festival, which was hosted in Carlow. We entered teams in both the U-16 and Adult competitions. Our U-16's started strong with a win against Salthill (Galway) but unfortunately they lost to both Douglas and Toomevara (Tipperary) and so they did not qualify for the finals. Our Intermediate team won their first two games against Camross and Cumann Baire Setanta (both Carlow0 and were narrowly defeated in their final group game against Mount Leinster Rangers (Dublin). They were very unlucky to lose out by 3points in the semi-final against strong Myshall (Carlow) team. Despite not bringing home any silverware, the weekend was a great success for both teams and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Carrigaline Camogie Club would like to thank all the volunteers who travelled and helped out over the weekend, all of those who sponsored the event or supported the fundraising efforts and finally thanks to Jenny Duffy and the Coiste Pan Cheilteach who organised the event so well.
