On Wednesday, 4th October 2017, Claregalway Educate Together participated in the Cumann na mBunscol Camogie Mini-Sevens Competition at Castlegar GAA Pitch.

We brought 10 girls from 4th, 5th and 6th Class- Kristin, Amy, Cora, Katie, Evita, Kasumi, Oonagh, Muireann, Keela and Vanessa.

To say they played their hearts out would be an understatement. We were immensely proud of them. The conditions were terrible-it was nearly the worst day of the year but they tackled ferociously and fought for every ball. Suzanne and I were very impressed with their bravery and commitment.

They should be very proud of themselves.

Many thanks to Castlegar N.S. who hosted the event. They had tea, coffee and beautiful sandwiches for anyone who wanted them.

A special word of thanks for the two parents who drove on the day- Ian Dunbar and Geraldine Monaghan.

Thank you also to Suzanne, Maria and John who give up their free time coaching camogie and hurling on Tuesday afternoons at Claregalway Community Centre from 3-4pm .
