Well done to all girls, keep up the training. Friday September 1st: Tonight Laochra Óg U12 hurler’s played St. Patrick’s in the Hurley Cup Final.

Unfortunately we didn’t come out on top, losing 3-3 to 2-1 in a really competitive game.

Laochra Óg had the bulk of the possession but weren’t able to capitalise on it.

Something to work on for the next day. Saying that, there was a massive change in pace and skill shown by both teams since the last time they met. Well done to St. Patrick’s.

We’ll be back next year to take the cup home. Thanks to Astra Systems for their sponsorship and continued support.

A special thanks to St. Colums for the use of their facilities.

Saturday September 2nd: Laochra Óg U14 Camogie team played Inniscarra in a challenge game at Ballyangley yesterday afternoon. Laochra Óg and Inniscarra played great Camogie with the ball travelling end to end.

Both teams were tough out and despite the rain it made no difference to either side. Roisín Lynch, Lucy O’Connor and Emily Murphy were all outstanding playing the ball out of defence. A goal separated the teams at the end going to Inniscarra.

We came close hitting the crossbar and were desperately unlucky not to score more on occasions.

Great preparations for our second round championship game were wait to see who we are playing. Well done girls.
