Report and photos from Antrim County PRO Michael Corcoran in St. Mary’s GAA and Camogie Club, Ahoghill
No one needed a coat or brolly. That’s a great starting position for any sporting event. In fact, sun cream was, for the latter portion of the day, in order. Starting with a parade around the top pitch with smiling faces and eager camogie players, Antrim’s Development Officer, Rachel Neeson managed to dial in the perfect blend of game time, organisation and memorabilia for the girls to take home as keep sakes.
Under the supervision of Antrim Camogie’s Carla McGrogan, the starting and finishing hooter bellowed around Ahoghill’s grounds synchronising everyone to a perfectly timed chorus of camogie. There was no shortage of eagerness to get to the ball or score or just enjoy the game.
The day kicked off with a parade around the top pitch, games that were aimed at maximising game time and then to finish the day, the all important prize distribution of medals to say thank you for coming along to play camogie and we hope you had a terrific experience. And there was a nice surprise as two of Antrim’s senior county players, Dearbhail Dobbin and Caitrina Graham showed up to hand out the medals and a souvenir programme to everyone.
Teams attending today’s blitz were in order of the programme:
St. Brigids, Lámh Dhearg, Geraldines Portglenone, Erin’s Own, Cargin, St Mary’s Ahoghill, Tír ná nÓg, Creggan, Dunloy, Naomh Eoin, St Mary’s Rasharkin, Pádraig Sarseil, Naomh Gall, Ruiarí Óg, Naomh Pól, Brídíní Óg, Naomh Éanna, Mhic Uilín, Ballycastle, Loughgiel Shamrocks and St. John’s, Carnlough.
