CAMOGIE CLUB NEWS
Kildavin-Clonegal camogie club continues to go from strength to strength. In the past two weeks we have had a number of our players playing for the county who deserve special mention and praise.
On Sunday, May 6, Aoife Carroll was part of the very gallant Carlow under-16 team who put up a strong fight against Dublin in the Leinster under-16 B championship Cup Final in Portlaoise. In the end it was not Carlow’s day but Carlow camogie continues to rise. Well done Aoife from everyone in the club.
