When St. Mary’s Ahoghill take to the field on Saturday evening in the Antrim Junior Camogie semi-final against Loughgiel they will be wearing a brand new playing kit. Rather than get a business to sponsor them the girls chose to fundraise to buy their own and make a donation to a charity. Claire McGuigan was a young club member who passed away earlier this year and her two sisters play for the team. The girls asked the McGuigan family to choose a charity for the front of their tops and they chose Dravet Syndrome UK as this is what Claire died from. The tops carry a small symbol designed by the McGuigan family on the back.

The McGuigan family chose it because the charity helped them so much throughout Claire’s life and also to raise awareness of the illness and the charity.

In the featured image above Dessie and Tracey McGuigan display the “Claire-keep smiling” emblem they chose for back of the tops.
