The forum entitled ‘Ulster Camogie – Moving Forward together – Our Voice, our vision’ broke new ground in helping to give Camogie players their say on a public stage for the first time. The Maire Ni Chinneide Cup won by Monaghan in 2010 was displayed along with the other Ulster winning trophies
Monaghan were represented by County players, Siobhan Mc. Kenna and Mairead Mc. Carron
Among the key speakers at the event were Cork’s All-Ireland winning Captain, dual player and the Association’s National Director of Camogie, Mary O’Connor.
