Under 12 Blitz

U12 Camogie Players who participated in Blitz at Club Grounds

We hosted very successful blitz on a lovely sunny morning last Saturday. St. Molleran’s played An Rinn in the first game and held on to a first half goal for a deserved win. Our girls played two matches with St Molleran’s, edging a keenly contested first game by a goal. We lost hard pulling Ellen Power to injury for our final against An Rinn. This proved to be just as close with the sides level at half time until Abbeyside began to get on top and a goal by Catherine Ruane after a goalmouth scramble midway through the half had the home side in front. An Rinn battled hard and every ball was contested with Ellen Regan, Moya Kiely and Katelyn O’Brien Landy defending superbly with Siun Ni Mhurchu, Caoimhe Earley & Laura Cosgrave in the thick of everything. It was end to end for the rest of the second half until Amy Kennedy scored a great team goal for Abbeyside to seal the victory. Thank you to all players, coaches, refs and parents who helped make this a very successful blitz.
