Hugh Scanlon couldn't make it because of work commitments and Blaithnid Keyes father  stood in,a more than capable replacement.

From time to time I go to these matches for two reasons.Firstly to check that the game is being properly promoted and secondly to check out the progress on my own grand daughter Aisling Mc Donagh.
Well I can tell you now that I was well assured on the two fronts.
The management team know what they are at.The team was well placed and skillful.There were plenty of parents present and even though Hugh Scanlan was not there his wife Rose kept him updated.While Tracey and Evelyn have no historical background in Camogie they have been quick learners and are up to par and even better.Goes to show that a willing horse will always drink the water.
This team was well trained and their hurling skills and commitment was a joy to behold.They possess in abundance the qualities of defiance,bravery and courage that Dunderry is renowned for and battle to the limit.An example to other teams in the Parish.The goalies were good,the backs tenacious,the midfielders excellent and the forwards score hungry.The spine of this team is solid ,even inspirational  and unflappable.The wings are supportive and game and skillful always.
The players back each other up ,as you would expect from players together since they were 10 years old .Had Mags been present she would have approved that her protegees have been so well nurtured .
Drumree were no daws either and had their quota of good players and guts aplenty also,as you would expect from that part of the country.
It was a ding dong battle up to the final whistle and a referee who has improved with age let the play flow to good effect.
Dunderry were the better team on the day and fully deserved their victory.
I am not going to pick out and praise one above the other as it would be unfair at this age group.I will say this however,as founder and a mentor of the Club for over twenty years.This is a team brimming with promise and blessed with as skillful and as brave players as ever graced this Club.
If they have the dedication and perseverance qualities of their predeccessors the sky is the limit.
Congratulations to players ,mentors and supporters on a job well done.
Hon the girls.
