A great day was had in Kilmanagh on 15th October as our underage girls got to meet the O’Duffy cup and enjoyed a training session with some of the senior county players including our own Aisling Dunphy! Thank you to the girls and all who helped out to make it a successful event. It was in aid of the Senior Kilkenny team’s holiday fund so thank you to all who supported.
Our U8’s finished up the 2016 season on Thursday evening 29th in the company of our local camogie star Aisling Dunphy and the O’Duffy Cup. We had a great turn out and finished a fantastic year winning 10 out of 12 Go Games, drawing one and one defeat.
We look forward to the 2017 season with most joining the U10 ranks. Watch out!! We see a great future for these bright young fun-loving camogie stars….

It was the U10’s final training session for 2016 last Monday 19th September. There was a fantastic turnout by all the girls, all 22 turned up and put in a mighty effort to finish out the season. Nothing new with this group of girls, all year even when things didn’t go their way they dug deep and gave it everything they had, and finished each match with great strength and massive heart. Each and every one of them are a credit to themselves, their families and their club and are a pleasure to train. Their futures are very bright. Read more
