Match report by Philomena Brennan
After the excitement of reaching the Intermediate County Final last October when supporters hoped that 2018 would see the club build on the progress made, all looked forward with anticipation for the first round of the League. Armed with the knowledge that this would be the club’s only match in the immediate future, a large crowd travelled to Canon Kearns Park in Castlecomer last Sunday 15th April.

Congratulations to St Brigid’s Senior Camogie team on a resounding victory over near neighbours Danesfort in the Leinster Camogie League Final on Sunday 8th April 2018. In Danesfort, the local officials did a great job to make the pitch playable. A fine first half by St. Brigid’s (Graigue Ballycallan) was vital to their victory. Midfielder and joint captain Laura Hennessy gave a Player of the Match performance and grabbed a vital goal in the opening half. Laureena Murphy and Caoimhe Murphy chipped in with two and three points apiece. Kym Ryan and Therese Muldowney were also on target. For Danesfort, goalkeeper Aoife Walsh was outstanding and a goal before the break by Laura Dooley gave them hope. Read more
