Cumann Cámogaíocht na nGael have organised for ‘Clare Camogie Easter Camps’ to take place over the Easter break. These camps, which are for girls between 8 to 11 years, will take place in Scariff and Newmarket-on-Fergus on Monday March 29^th, Tuesday 30^th and Wednesday 31^st. Due to Féile taking place in Clare this year, there is also a special Féile camp for all players under 14 in Tulla on the same dates. The camps are being organised by our own Deirdre Murphy who is the Munster Camogie Development Coordinater. Coaches from Clare Senior Hurling and Camogie Panels will spend the 3 days of the camps passing on their knowledge and advice to our budding young stars.

The camp costs 30 euro per child and in order to ensure that each player receives sufficient attention, places are limited to 50 girls per camp, so book early!!

Application forms can be sourced from Sheelagh Daffy, camogie PRO.

Under 12 camogie training has been underway for the last few weeks on Saturday evenings at 5pm under the guidance of Martha Deegan, Dave Barry and a number of the senior camogie team. Anyone interested in learning camogie and making new friends, feel free to come along!

The under 14 féile team have also been hard at work under the guidance of Brian Leamy, Cillian Duggan, Aisling Hannon, Padraig Ward and Ray Ryan. Last week the team picture was taken for the Féile magazine and we wish them all the best in their training and preparation for the Féile competition.

A form is being circulated to all the schools about the start of u6’s/8’s and10’s training. If your child is not attending one of the schools in the parish or simply did not receive a form please contact Breda Daffy, club secretary on 0872243142.

Finally, the senior camogie team had their first outing of the year and were succesfull.  They played Kilkishen on Sunday 21st in the first round of the league in the Mills.The final score was Clooney-Quin 3-12 Kilkishen 1-5.  The team put in a strong performance on the day and hope to keep this going for the rest of the season.  Their next game is this Sunday 28th at 11:00am in Clooney against Newmarket. We wish them luck and please come and support the girls as they move on in the leage.
