They played three very tough competitive games against Clara, Ballyragget and St. Anne’s. The girls were rewarded for their efforts coming out with a win over Ballyragget and a draw with Clara. Well done girls!

Our U12s were in action in the Camogie League v John Lockes in Callan on Thursday evening last 12th July. A brilliant performance was put in by all our girls and at the half time mark it was a draw match with everything still to play for. The sun continued to shine down in the second half and we continued to play with great skill and brilliant determination. It was a tough tight tussle between two evenly matched sides and at the end they could not be separated on the scoreboard. The final score was St. Brigid’s 0-9 John Lockes 0-9. Well done to all our girls, they never gave up right to the final whistle. Our next match is against James Stephens at home in Kilmanagh on Wednesday the 18th of July.
Our U16s took on Glenmore in the latest round of the Camogie League on Wednesday the 11th of July in Kilmanagh. This was a tough and physical battle against a formidable Glenmore side. After a slow start for St. Brigid’s a well taken goal courtesy of Claire Doheny brought them to life. Both teams remained evenly matched throughout the second half and it took another goal, this time from Reece Delaney, to ensure victory for the St. Brigid’s side. The girls deserve great credit for the way they battled throughout showing tremendous skill and effort to come out on the winning side. Final score: St Brigids 2-9 Glenmore 1-9. This victory now sees St. Brigid’s through to the U16 A League final v Thomastown, date time and venue TBC. Well done girls!

We were all down in Gowran on Saturday on a very hot sunny day for our second League game. Our girls put in a superb performance in the first half, among the highlights were some brilliant saves by our goalkeeper which kept us ahead by a goal at the break. The second half started off great, again some excellent play by all girls right across the pitch. Sadly the heat got too much for us and we finished on the losing side on this occasion on a scoreline of Gowran 4-8 St. Brigid’s 4-1. Great credit has to go to this excellent group of girls who put on an brilliant display in the very warm conditions. A big well done to all to the parents and we are all looking forward to our next match. Onwards and upwards!

Our U12’s played their first league match against Dicksboro at home on Friday evening last 22nd June. What a brilliant performance by all girls, in the first half especially where they battled hard and displayed some great skill. In the second half Dicksboro battled that bit tougher and got that extra bit of luck that was needed to finish out the game. Dicksboro came out winners in the end but that said the St. Brigid’s girls played brilliant and they tried hard with every skill they had. Well done girls. Final Score: Dicksboro 5-3 St. Brigid’s 1-3
