Best of luck to our u-16 girls who compete in the roinn B county final this Friday 26th September.
The girls take on Danesfort at 5.45pm in the new James Stephens grounds on the Kells road. They go into the game as league champions!
Your support would be greatly appreciated!
The under-8s started the year back on the pitch just before Easter. There was great turn out of 20 players at the start of the year. This was new to some of the girls as it was their first year of under-8s. They are a lovely bunch of girls and they are always willing to learn. Read more
On Saturday 23rd August, St Brigid’s Minor girls took to the field in Ballyhale, to play in the semi finals, their opposition were the formidable Rower, who had recently been crowned league champions after they beat Paulstown in the Minor League final in July.
Last Sunday St. Brigid’s U12 Camogie panel along with their mentors travelled to Dublin having been invited to play Kilmacud Crokes U12 team. The fully occupied bus departed Tom Ryall Park at 8.30am.
On the day that was in it, Kilmacud Crokes were hosting a number of other hurling/camogie teams so all pitches at their club grounds were in use. Read more

St. Brigid’s vs. Muckalee
Venue: Tom Ryall Park
Date: 07/07/14
Score: St Brigid’s 0-6
Muckalee 1-2
The game took place on a dull, wet evening and to start, both teams were contesting well. The game went without a score from both sides until well into the first half, a goal came for Muckalee after a free was taken and found the St. Brigid’s net, an unlucky score to concede. There were a number of hard fought battles in the St. Brigid’s full forward line and the girls were kept out by a strong back line for Muckalee. Read more
Minor B St. Brigid’s vs St. Anne’s
Venue: Galmoy
Date: 30/6/14
Referee: Anthony Costigan
St. Brigid’s went into this game on the back of two wins from two games, but short a number of key players.
From the outset St. Anne’s stamped their authority on the game, and while Brigid’s tried hard it seemed that most of the possession they won, they gave straight back with poor passing. Read more

The St Brigid’s U12 Camogie girls who recently played O’Loughlin Gaels in a friendly challenge.
This was the second encounter against O’Loughlin’s so far this year. On both occasions St. Brigid’s won in convincing style. Of particular note was the excellent hand-passing and hooking techniques employed by St Brigid’s which was evident throughout both games.
On Saturday 28th June, St Brigid’s will be hosting an U12 Blitz in Kilmanagh. Participating clubs include Freshford, Conahy and Lisdowney.
Some photos from a breakfast morning fundraiser which was one of the many fundraisers held recently in support of the U14 girls from St Brigid’s Camogie Club who have qualified for the Féile and are heading to Derry in a few week’s time. The breakfast morning was held in St. Aidan’s NS Kilmanagh and over €700 was raised. A massive thanks to everyone.
