Intermediate camogie vs Danesfort
Well done to our intermediate camogie team who have won the 3rd round of the league. On Tuesday 22nd July the girls were up against Danesfort in Danesfort on a warm summer’s evening. Again, injuries were affecting the numbers but we had a panel of 17 on the night. St Brigid’s got off to a great start, scoring 3 points before Danesfort got a look in. Great passing between the half back line and the half forward line meant the ball travelled fast up the field and from this 9 points were scored from play in the 1st half. Read more
Intermediate camogie vs Tullaroan
Well done to our intermediate camogie team who beat rivals Tullaroan in the All-county league on Monday 14th July. Even with a lack of numbers due to other commitments and injuries the girls led from the start. They had a 3 point lead before the opposition had a chance to get the ball down the other end of the field. Read more
U-16 camogie vs Muckalee
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
Intermediate camogie all-county league
Well done to our intermediate camogie team who won the 3rd round of the all-county league on Wednesday night 2nd July. The opposition were James Stephens and the girls had home venue. Injuries and other commitments meant there was only a panel of 15 available for the night.
It took a while for the girls to get into their stride but the points came and two goals followed from Amy O’Connor and Laureena Murphy with great play-making from Bernie Ryall. There was great work from all over the field and this meant they led at half time with a score of 2-05 to 1-03. Read more

Minor camogie championship
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
Féile Peil na nÓg – Good Luck Laoise!
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.

St. Brigid’s U12 camogie news!
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.
Many of the U12 girls are also involved with the U14 panel and we wish them the very best of luck as they prepare to take part in the Feile this weekend.
