Carnew come out on top at Final Camogie Blitz

Body: 

Mol an óige agus tiocfaidh sí agus b’shin an scéal nuair a chas imreoirí ó Chill Mhantáin ar Ráth Droma i gcomhair bliots camógaíochta deireadh na bliana. Go dtí seo bhíodar ag glacadh páirt i mbliotsanna rannphairtíochta ach inniu bhí an deis acu corn a bhuachaint chomh maith. Chuireadar an-iarracht isteach inniu agus d’éirigh leo ar fad go leor camógaíochta a imirt. The final Allianz Cumann na mBunscol Camogie blitz of the school year took place on the 15th of May in the Wicklow Centre of Excellence in Ballinakill. It was a fantastic day where more than 130 young camogie players took part. We had three divisions in this competitive blitz with fourteen teams taking part from eight different schools from across the county.

Skillful and enthusiastic players took to the field for a fun and camogie-filled day. Our three divisions were played across seven pitches which were expertly refereed by our referees. Míle buíochas leis na réiteoirí ar fad a chabhraigh ar an lá, gan iad ní bheadh muid in ann bliotsanna a reachtáil; Con, Micko, Breda, Catherine, Míchéal, Róisín and Alison go raibh míle maith agaibh ar fad!

In Roinn 1 we had teams from Scoil Chualann, Sacred Heart NS, Carnew NS, Our Lady’s Rathdrum, Gaelscoil Uí Chéadaigh and Bearna Clé NS. The winners of this division would win Sciath Uí Choitir as well as the honour of representing Wicklow at a Leinster Blitz being held in Laois on the 11th of June. Many congrats to our winners Carnew National School who will go on to represent us in Leinster and to runners up Sacred Heart NS.

In Roinn 2 and Roinn 3 we had teams from Gaelscoil Chill Mhantáin, St Patrick’s NS Wicklow Town, Our Lady’s Rathdrum and Sacred Heart NS. What an incredible achievement that some schools were able to field two or three teams. The Roinn 2 winners were Gaelscoil Chill Mhantáin and the runners up were Our Lady’s Rathdrum. In Roinn 3 the winners were Our Lady’s Rathdrum with Sacred Heart NS coming in second place.  Many thanks to Owen Doyle from Ballinakill and Breda Donnelly from Wicklow Camogie for all their help.
