U12 camogie shield final 30/9/17
Report by Tara Hogan
Last Saturday 30th September, saw the end to the U12’s 2017 season with an away game against Urlingford in the Shield Final.
Excitement was in the air as we began the game and each and every member of the panel fought their little hearts out for the blue and white jersey. Our girls must be admired for their hard work as they fought hard for every ball in a tough battle. Even with all this determination, unfortunately it wasn’t our day on Saturday.
We would like to thank the girls for being such a delightful, energetic and enthusiastic group to work with throughout the year. Read more

Camogie All Ireland 10/9/17 – Aisling named on team of the year
Hard luck to the Kilkenny Senior Camogie team and Aisling Dunphy on All-Ireland day last Sunday 10th September, unlucky not to come away with the win in the end after a hard fought second half. Aisling had a brilliant game in half back and did us all very proud!
It wasn’t all negative news on the day though as Aisling was named on the Sunday Game Team of the Year at half back. A great achievement which is rightly deserved! Congratulations Aisling!
Also, congratulations to our Feile friends Gailltir of Waterford who won the squad goals final at half time.
