The schools camogie
teams have been quite successful in recent years. Our first ever victory
was in a Div. 4 final in 1995. In 1997 we were runners-up in a Div.
3 final against OCallaghans Mills and in 1998 we were victorious
yet again in a Div. 3 final against Feakle. We lost to Clarecastle in
the 2000 decider but made the final again in 2001. This
time we were victorious.
Crusheen 3-0 St.
Aidan’s Shannon 1-1
Like the hurling game
the camogie final was a tense hard-fought game between two even teams.
Six minutes had passed before Amanda had our first goal and we were
to add two more from Olivia and Carina before Aidan’s had a pointed
free midway through the first half. At this stage we appeared to be
coasting to victory. Aidan’s had other ideas and they made it really
difficult for us in the second half. They had the only score of that
half, a goal and there was great excitement as we held out to win our
first ever Div. 2 camogie title and Olivia headed up the steps to receive
the trophy.
