Frances and Sara shine in Poc Fada competition
THE Wicklow Camogie Junior team is shaping up well for its All-Ireland campaign, with a replay due in the Leinster Championship (see match report).
In the past week, the panel was presented with a set of jerseys by Cathy Corrigan of Naas Oil.
On Saturday, the Camogie Poc Fada was run alongside the Wicklow GAA Poc Fada on the Great Sugar Loaf, with the competition open to adult and U-16s.
Sara Davis, Bray Emmets, came away with the honours at the U-16 level, with Frances Kearns, Kilcoole, taking the plaudits in the adult competition.
Both Frances and Sara go on to represent Wicklow in the Leinster Poc Fada final on Saturday, June 24 in Beann Eadair GAA Club, Howth, Co. Dublin.
Frances took the win by one poc, while Sara clinched the title by only 1.5m.
The Wicklow competitors were Frances Kearns and Bernie Byrne in the Senior Ladies and Sarah Davis, Rachel Rice, Katie Toomey, and Aoife O’Neill in the U-16 Girls competition.
Meanwhile, at club level, the younger underage players are enjoying their time in the sun.
The second round of the U-12 League last Friday night saw some great camogie, with matches between Eire Og Greystones v Donard-Glen, Kiltegan v Annacurra, Avondale v Carnew Emmets, Kilcoole v Aughrim, Arklow v Avoca, Glenealy v Knockananna.
And on Saturday, the U-8 and U-10s took to the pitch with blitzes in Glenealy, Donard-Glen, and Ballincor.
Their next outing is on June 14 with an all-county blitz in the GAA Centre of Excellence in Ballinakill.
