Last week on a grand Summer's evening I found time to see our under 14 Camogie team in action in Dunderry.
As a very proud President of the Club I like to get to as many matches as possible.Truth is that there is so much going on on the sporting fields of Dunderry between football,hurling and camogie that it is impossible entirely to keep up with everything.
Anyhow Donaghmore are ancient rivals and are always good.We have had many's a battle over the years.
When I parked on the upper pitch to watch the match my heart lifted when I saw that Suzanne Kelly (Finnegan ),Caroline Duffy and Donie Mooney were the mentors.The women at least know their onions ,both having yielded the Caman with distinction in the recent past.And Donie is a good motivator.
All three had skin in the game,with Donie and Suzanne having a daughter each on the field and Caroline having two.
And beside them were Lettie Rowan and Tereas Rattigan.Two queens of the game.Between these women are more medals than would sink a battleship,.And loads of cop as well.
Team.

This team has been together for six years.They train hard.There is fierce unity in the camp.They are well trained.They excel at blocking,hooking and are unselfish ,passing the ball to each other to advantage.They come from good GAA families and are proud to play with Dunderry.They have oodles of skill and are fearless.
They play a nice brand of hurling and are well able to take their scores.
They outplayed Donaghmore decisively and ran out relatively winners on a scoreline of 7-2 to 2-1 as far as I could see.
The win was achieved with solid teamwork from 1 to 15 and all were stars,
A nice team to watch and a job well done.
These girls are on a roll,having beaten Trim and Drumree before this latest victory.
I look forward to the next match.
