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.

The U14 Feile is fast approaching with Abbeyside hosting girls from Mayo and playing Dungarvan, the Mayo champions and the Cavan champions on the week-end of 17th June.

Blitz
Abbeyside hosted the first blitz of the year in glorious sunshine on the 10th of April. 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.
