u10 Camogie Blitz
U 10 Camogie Blitz in Coon.
With the Camogie blitz season now in full swing our U10 girls played some great hurling at their home blitz in Coon last evening (Tuesday 26/6). The home team hosted teams from Tullaroan, Danesfort and Ballyragget. The dry evening bought out the crowd and they were treated to some great displays of hurling from all the teams. Some lovely ground hurling lead to some great goals by the home team, including a hat trick by one enthusiastic player. We were also treated to some great displays of lifting and striking the ball especially around midfield. The girls came away with a win and a draw and are looking forward to their next outing on the 6th July in Tullaroan. Our U8 girls will be in action this Saturday morning (28/6) in Dicksboro. Hope to see you all there.
