CAMOGIE NEWS
Senior
We played our first match of the year on St Patrick’s day in Nenagh against Knockavilla in the league.
It was a keenly contested affair with some excellent camogie played by both teams. Nenagh had a good lead at half time, but Knockavilla came back strongly and took the lead with time almost up, Nenagh scored a late point to get a deserved draw.
Great credit is due to both teams. We have a bye next weekend and our next match is away to Annacarty.

The girls fought hard in the second half, but could not register the scores. The strength of the Slieve Feilim girls showed in the latter stages and they pulled away to make the final score 3-7 to 1-3.
