Féile Peil na nÓg – Good Luck Laoise!

Archives, Camogie

Best of Luck to Laoise Prendiville who is part of the Kilkenny City girls football team heading off to Connacht for the annual Féile Peil na nÓg this weekend. The girls will be hosted by Claregalway GAA club.

We wish them all the best as they try to complete the 3-in-a-row. The city girls won Division 3 in 2012 and won Division 2 in 2013 and will compete in Division 1 this year. Laoise was part of the 2013 squad and it would be a wonderful achievement to bring back a second Féile football medal to the parish.
