Killarney Camogie U-14 team had the time of their lives at the All-Ireland Féile 2018, club officials have revealed. The club have also expressed their gratitude to Moycullen Camogie whose hospitality was superb. The girls, they say, have made lasting friendships with the team.

On Friday evening Killarney played two games against Craughwell and Edendork. The girls gave 100% on the pitch and Craughwell was a competitive game but Edendork was a different story as their side was just too strong. On Saturday the girls played their host club Moycullen in a nail-biting encounter that finished with the sides level. As they left the pitch, the team was greeted by the president of the Camogie Association, Kathleen Woods. After a few photos and a chat, the girls hopped on the bus again to head to Roscommon to play Crosserlough in the Shield quarter-final. Although beaten well, the tenacity and the passion the team displayed was inspiring.

It was a tremendous experience with an abundance of camogie played and an All-Ireland quarter-final appearance is a fantastic achievement. The club thanked Mary Ryan and the Stack family in Tricel, Jessica O' Connor in Vodafone and Killarney Credit Union for their generous sponsorship and support. Best wishes to Cliona Lynch on her recovery from a knee injury sustained in the quarter-final.

Well done to Killarney Camogie trainers Ceara Moore, Paul O’Brien and Pat Sheenan and to players Sarah Looney, Yasmin O’Brien, Yen Leniston, Aimee Coffey, Clíona Lynch, Geraldine Murphy, Keelyn O’Leary, Ilona Sheehan, Lisa Lenihan, Clodagh Lucey, Jessica Bell, Anne Hickey, Heather Culloty, Alannah Houlihan, Chloe McCarthy, Áine Devlin, Éabha Lynch, Niamh Coughlan, Kathryn Ryan, Hannah Ryan and Tia McNabb. Congratulations to fellow Kerry side Causeway who won an All-Ireland Féile for the first time ever.
