Faughs have come forward once again to assist with the kick off of the U13 summer competition.

Team Sheetsheets and Referee Reports

Can you please have your mentors provide referees with signed team sheets, this includes U8s U9S and U10s. If a girl is injured and an insurance claim is submitted, the county board will be asked to produce evidence that the girl played a camogie match on the date said injury occurred, (hard copy of teamsheet is that evidence), without it claim could be invalidated.
