Camogie 2023 Highlights
What a year 2023 was for Abbeyside Camogie Club! The club fielded teams
of various age groups from U6 right through to adult junior camogie. We had
great success with many age groups reaching both county semi finals and finals.
While all of this is fantastic for the club, one of our main highlights was our
minor team being fielded this year after having to unfortunately withdraw in
2022, so well done to the girls and management team on this achievement!
We had two successful fundraisers throughout the year. On Friday the
17th of February, we had our annual music quiz which was hosted by Bob O’
Brien. Thank you to all who helped support this in any way, from the local
businesses that sponsored prizes to all of the kind donations and of course to
our incredible committee for putting the night together, it was a great success
and could not have been done without all of the help both behind the scenes and
on the night!
In addition to the quiz, on Monday the 30th of October, we held our
annual sponsored walk in Clonea. We were blessed with the weather on the day
and some of our younger members even dressed up in their Halloween costumes for
the occasion. It was a great success and once again we would like to thank all
who supported this walk. All of the money raised is a great help to all of our
age groups and to the club in general.
In March, the club took part in the local St. Patrick’s Day parade. This
is always a great day out for the club and for our juvenile girls. A big thank
you to all of the girls and looking forward to taking part in the parade again
this year!
On the May bank holiday weekend, we were thrilled to host the Paula
Collins Memorial Tournament. What a fantastic day it turned out to be. On the
day, with over 90 Abbeyside camogie players taking part, there was great
community spirit, just what Paula represented during her time coaching with
Abbeyside Camogie. We would once again like to thank all that were involved in
making this day such a huge success. A special mention to the Collins and
Nugent families for their support on the day also.
July saw the launch of our away jerseys. A massive thank you once again
to Brendan Cosgrave at Ballycoe Landscaping for the sponsorship. This was and
still is greatly appreciated. It is fantastic to see all of our members wearing
these jerseys. These jerseys are special to us as a club as they include the
names of two of our much loved and missed members and players, Shauna McGrath
and Laura Cliffe. As part of the jersey sales, O’ Reilly sports kindly donated
a portion of the sales to the clubs charity of choice. This donation was shared
between the McGrath and Cliffe families towards a charity of their choice. The
McGrath family chose Sesame Early Intervention Service and the Cliffe family
chose the Lions Club. A cheque with the value of €300 went to each charity back
in October. We would like to thank O’ Reilly sports and all who purchased one
of our away jerseys. It is truely a lovely tribute to remember our Shauna and
Laura.
Once again this year saw many of our club members from various age
groups involved in both development squads and county teams. This is a
testament to all of the hard work being completed by our coaches and girls. We
want to congratulate all of you once again and the club is so proud of ye for
all of the hard work that ye put in!
Our club goes from strength to strength, and is growing in numbers, we
have a great group of girls who have fun learning the skills of camogie and
making friends for life along the way!.
From all of us here at the club, we want to thank the coaches and the
girls for all of their hard work both on and off the field and of course all of
the parents and supporters who travel all over to support all of these
incredible groups. This year, we are looking to recruit even more coaches for
many of our underage groups so if anybody has interest in helping out please
get in contact with us, through social media or our existing coaches, we would
be delighted to have you on board.
We want to thank everyone for your continued support throughout the
year. We look forward to welcoming all of you back in the coming weeks for
another exciting year ahead.
