2014 Inter-County Camogie Season Gets Underway

Post date: Feb 20, 2014 11:17:44 AM

The inter-county camogie season gets underway this weekend. Limerick's Junior team travel to Tyrone in a Division 4 National League clash on Sunday 23rd at 2pm in Garvaghey while the Minors get things underway at 1pm on Saturday 22nd with the visit of Offaly to LIT.

Following on from their success last year winning Division Two of the Irish Daily Star National League Limerick's Intermediate Camogie Team will be competing in Division 1 of the League this year. In the group stages they will play All-Ireland Senior Champions Galway, runners-up Kilkenny, neighbours Clare and their first fixture will be away to Derry on 9th March.

Limerick's Junior team get their Division 4 League campaign underway away to Tyrone on Sunday. The team managed by Ger Curtin with Teresa Noonan and Intermediate Manager Joe Quaid as selectors follow on with matches against Kerry, Meath, Cavan and Dublin. It is some years since Limerick fielded a team at this level and it is testament to the depth of emerging talent in the county that we enter into this competition with confidence and hopeful of success.

Limerick's Minor team get their Championship challenge underway against Offaly on in LIT on Saturday 22nd at 1pm. This much fancied side features no less than six players (Caoimhe Costello, Rebecca Delee, Deborah Murphy, Karen O'Leary, Aoife Wilson and Jane Wilson) who played in the Intermediate Final in Croke Park in September and are managed for the second year by Willie Banks with Adrian O'Sullivan and Rose McMahon as selectors.
