With the inclement weather this session was held in Scoil Eoin. The focus this week was blocking & hooking, which the girls were enthusiastic to learn & all proved well capable of by the end of the hour. We had 20 girls participate this past week, with 7 coaches on hand to guide them through the skill & drills. Overall 36 different girls attended over the three weeks, with 19 different coaches volunteering their time to help out. A big well done to the girls for their attendance & enthusiasm & a sincere thank you to our Guest coaches for their time, it is much appreciated. This brings an end to the camogie season for these players, with us looking forward to regrouping in the New Year again.
