Good Luck Sarah!

Everyone in the club sends our best wishes to Sarah Quigley and the Tipperary intermediate camogie team as they get ready to face Kilkenny in the Littlewood’s National Camogie League division two final on Easter Sunday. Sarah has proven herself to be one of the country’s top goalkeepers and it is no surprise to anyone who has watched her progress over the years to see her don the Blue & Gold with distinction. Sarah is joined on the team by Nenagh Handball Club star Sinéad Meagher and we send our very best to all the panel and management.
