Sunday the 25th of August saw Gort Na Móna host their annual Bronagh Kelly Memorial u16 7-A-Side Camogie tournament. The competition which is now in its 17th year is historically hosted on the last Sunday of August and 2024 was no different. Throughout the years the camogie contingent of the club have hosted clubs from various counties but this year seen a first as all entrants were from belfast. A testament to the work going on for camogie development in the city. With last year’s Cup winners Swatragh unable to defend their position due to other club commitments the cup was up for grabs. The group stages seen some fantastic end to end fast paced quick touch camogie with St Paul’s and Lamh Dhearg coming out on top of their sections. The shield was more closely contested as it came down to score difference to determine what club progressed. High scoring Gort na Móna secured their spot to meet St Brigids. A close encounter saw Gorts just edge their competitors for the win. Much to the delight of the manager Lisa Pierce. The cup final was tight as both teams in red and white battled end to end with the Shaws Road girls taking the spoils. As the shield and cup was presented Gort na Móna took their opportunity to thank the Kelly family and all those who make the annual tournament a great success
