The Sport agus Spraoi initiative run by Cumann Cámogaíochta na nGael in partnership with local secondary schools, local sports partnership, Camogie boards and a host third level college.It is aimed at increasing participation in the game and improving communications between parties thereby enhancing the profile of Camogie.
A total of 160 first year girls took to the field in UCD yesterday to take part in this year’s initiative in partnership with Dun Laoghaire Rathdown Sports Partnership. The day consisted of a skills for all session, which was delivered by some of the stars of the UCD Camogie team, a 10-a-side blitz in the afternoon and a teachers workshop.
All schools were presented with a pack at the end of the day by Dublin Inter County Player Alison Maguire, which included some sliotars for the school team, keyrings and promotional Camogie and UCD material.
Our thanks to UCD for hosting the event and to all the UCD Camogie team for helping the girls learn some new skills of the game. Also a special thanks to Shane McArdle and Dun Laoghaire Rathdown Sports Partnership in helping us provide schools with much needed equipment. We hope we can continue to forge links with sports partnerships around the county to increase the number of girls participating in sport.
