Firstly our Senior Camogie girls got off to a flying start in the championship with a great win over Enniscorthy rivals Coláiste Bríde⚾️ The final score here was 6-13 to 5-9👏 Scorers included; Aoife Farrell (0-2), Aoife Somers (3-3), Shauna MacSweeney (0-5), Leah Roban (2-2), Katie Bowe (0-1) and Niamh Doyle (1-0). Reports from the match said that Charley Fitzhenry showed great defensive skills in the back line, stopping a goal. The full forward line put on an excellent display with Aoife Somers and Leah Roban working hand in hand, while Lauren Smyth kept the ball moving showing great determination!💪![]()
