A massive well done to our wonderful indoor camogie team who took part in the Cuman na mBunscoil Indoor Blitz on 25th January in the Carrickpherish Sports Hub.
The girls came together today for the first time and worked so well as a team! They had two matches against Gaelscoil na nDeise and Gaelscoil Port Láirge and they came away with a win and a loss, a super achievement for our new team.
A wonderful day out and a great start to the 2023 camogie season!
5th Class was represented by Eve B, Eve D, Ella M, Keeley R & Abbie M.
4th Class was represented by Paulina K, Hannah O, Emily P, Zoey B & Ana K.
