Camogie Notes - 13th April

U16
The U16 team started the competitive year in Abbeyside taking on the combined Butlerstown and Ferrybank teams. The girls performed to a high level on the night with some good skill on display, Butlerstown ran out winners on the night. We had 25 girls togged out on the night which bodes well for the future of camogie in Abbeyside.

Clonea, An Rinn, Portlaw, Brickies and St Anne’s competed on the day with a total of 140 children playing camogie. A great day was had by all. Thanks to everyone who made the day a success with all clubs commenting on the hospitality and refreshments on offer. Thanks Claire.
