A Very Enjoyable Feile weekend in Lismore

Lismore Camogie kicked off the Feile weekend on Friday morning last by going to mass in St. Carthages Church. A sincere thanks to Fr. Cullinan for his lovely ceremony for the Feile team and their mentors. It was then off up to Roses West end Lounge for the Feile breakfast and once again a sincere thanks to Rose Dowd and staff for the lovely breakfast.

The girls and their mentors walked up to the GAA field in their club colours to meet Crecora U14 team, who were Lismore's guest team. At 2.30 both teams got on their busses to head for Gall Tir and Passage to play their first two games of the competition. Lismore played Clare's Kilnamena/Feakle in the first game, but were defeated and defeat was their lot in the second game V Gall Tir. 

Crecora played both Gall Tir and Kilnamena/Feakle and both games ended in a draw.

Both teams got back to Lismore at around 8,45 and were greeted by the awaiting parents,

Saturday morning at 11.30 saw Lismore play Crecora where Crecora proved to be very strong  and the Lismore girls were once more on the loosing end.

Borrisoleigh Co. Tipperary was the next trip for Lismore to platy North Tipps Annacarty in the fourth round. Defeat once again for our girls. Meanwhile, back in Dundrum Crecora were playing Thomastown Co. Kilkenny where they came up against a very strong team, so Crecora were also knocked out of the competition.

The girls and their mentors were back in Lismore for 6,30 and both lots of girls went to their host families to get ready for the Feile Barbeque in the Community Centre. A very enjoyable night of entertainment and food ensued with over 450 people in attendance. Lismore chairperson Mary Russell and secretary Marie Russell presented a picture of Lismore Castle to the manager of Crecora and he turn presented a lovely plaque in appreciation to the committee of Lismore Camogie club.
