Auto McK County Senior Camogie Championship Final date set for August 25th
Castleblayney and Clontibret who are finalists in this years Senior Camogie Championship will at this stage have most of the preparations done and dusted for their forthcoming final on Sunday 25th August. These two teams are no strangers when it comes to finals however Castleblayney came up trumps in 2012, taking the honours for the first time in eight years when they defeated Inniskeen. Clontibret will be looking to put 2012 behind them and regain the title which they held for seven years, up to and including 2011.
County Board Meeting
The meeting was held in the Glencarn Hotel on Monday last where it was proposed to hold a special Development meeting at the end of the month in order to save struggling clubs and foster new clubs in the County. With some clubs having difficulty fielding in the current economic climate, what with emigration and work commitments, it was felt that some measures would have to be taken to amend the situation, hence it was decided to hold the meeting as a matter of urgency.
Rose of Tralee
The Board wished Eleanor Mc. Quaid their good wishes as she sets off for Kerry in the forthcoming “Rose of Tralee” which takes place next week. Eleanor who is a playing member with both Clontibret Camogie Club and the County Camogie team is a perfect stalwart for the County and we wish her the best of Luck in her bid to become this years “Rose of Tralee”.
Sympathy
It was with deep regret that the Board learned of the tragic death of Karl Moen RIP. brother of Donna and Amy and cousin to Shauna and Tara Mc. Elvanney. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Moen and Mc. Elvanney family’s at this sad time.
