Antrim Camogie PRO Michael Corcoran report and photos from Hillgrove Hotel, Monaghan
It was a star studded affair in the Hillgrove Hotel for the annual Gaelic Life Club All Stars Awards 2024, in association with McKvr. With over seventy awards to distribute across the evening, a three course meal and tea/coffee to follow and fund raising activities, this was an exciting and fun packed agenda.
The four codes comprising Mens and Ladies football, Hurling and Camogie, Hall of fame inductee and volunteer nominees came together under the one roof to receive their respective club level awards.
Antrim’s Loughgiel camogie team dominated their code with seven players awarded an All Star for their performance on the field throughout 2024 with some focus on the County, Provincial and All Ireland contributions. Mid field player Amy Boyle scooped the coveted Player of the Year, making Loughgiel a three in a row recipient, Roisin McCormick and Emma McFadden preceding Amy.
Four of the Loughgiel recipients are currently playing on the Antrim senior camogie team, Clare McKillop, Amy Boyle, Roisin McCormick and Caitrin Dobbin.
Loughgiel’s success spilled out from the field into management and Conor Higgins and Ronan McCloskey were awarded Camogie Manager of the Year. Loughgiel’s reach across onto the prize table might have ended there, but Eddie McCloskey, Loughgiel’s All Ireland winner now manager of Carey Faughs, picked up a nomination and merit award for Hurling Manager of the Year.
