De La Salle are County Minor Camogie Champions

Congratulations & well done to our U-18 girls who won back to back minor A Championship titles with a 3-17 (26) to 2-11 (17) victory against Gailltir played at the WIT Carriganore Campus on Sat 29th Oct on a fine pitch in good weather conditions.

This game was played at a very fast pace with plenty of skill and scores on show from first to final whistle, with play swinging from end to end throughout the entire game. We led by 2-7 (13) to 0-3 at half time.

Our opponents came back at us in the second half narrowing the gap to 3 points at one stage but our girls showed their togetherness by pushing on again running out 9 point winners at the final whistle. Well done to both teams on a sporting tough encounter.

After the game the Waterford Camogie County Board Chairperson Ita Murphy presented the Johnny Flynn Memorial Cup to our captain Courtney Healy. Courtney thanked her team mates for all their commitment and hard work shown throughout the year, Rose Madigan on first aid, Micko Casey physio for all his hard work with the squad injury wise, mentors Decky Drohan, Derek Healy, Joey Carton and to all our supporters for attending games throughout the year, very much appreciated.

Courtney also thanked  our opponents Gailltir for a good game. This was a fine way to finish up the playing end of the season for us. This group of girls have have shown their togetherness down through the years winning an U-12 A title in 2010, U-14 A in 2012, U-16 A in 2014 & U-18 A in 2016. With only 4 of the panel overage for next year’s minor age group this is a fair achievement by this group of girls. The player of the final award went to the tremendously talented Abby Flynn scoring 2-2 from play.
