Camogie Success
While much attention has been focused on intercounty action by local players of late, nearer to home the action on the camogie front has also been hitting the headlines. Kilbrittain/Timoleague Camogie had a fantastic win recently in the final ofThe Lily Grant Junior County League at Castle Road beating Watergrasshill 1-13 to 0-7 after a great game which delighted their many supporters at the city venue. Local players central to this victory were Cliodhna Keohane, Sinead Walsh, Laura and Margaret Sexton.
League success was also enjoyed at the other side of the haggart when Barryroe defeated Bride Rovers 1-16 to 0-6 in the Junior A final at Castle Road. Local girls involved in this great victory were Sarah Harrington, Sarah Harte, Meabh O’Sullivan, Sinead Walsh, Cliona Harte, Ellen Foley, Seodhna Walsh and Sinead O’Callaghan.
It’s all systems go around Timoleague at present and the Summer is only starting!
