Fitzgerald Stadium to host historic inter-county camogie match

By Sean Moriarty
History will be made in Fitzgerald Stadium tomorrow (Saturday) when the venue hosts its first-ever inter-county camogie match.
The Kerry senior team will get their National League campaign underway against Westmeath.
While the famous stadium has hosted inter-club matches before – back in the 1960s and 1970s – this will be the first time that a National Camogie League game has been played there.
Camogie is a predominantly North Kerry-based sport but it has been growing particularly well in the Killarney area in recent years.
The Killarney Advertiser understands that a preferred venue in North Kerry became unavailable and that the opportunity fell to Fitzgerald Stadium.
Tomorrow’s National League game will be a massive boost to grassroots camogie locally.
“It is a big deal for the sport,” Sarah Dineen, Chair of Killarney Camogie Club, told the Killarney Advertiser.
“Camogie is booming in Killarney, we had 44 girls at Under 8 and 10 training last week which is unheard of.”
The club’s Under 13 team will play a demonstration match during half time of Saturday’s fixture which is set for a 2pm throw-in.
Cillard's Clodagh Walsh and Sara Murphy of Clanmaurice have been named as the joint Kerry captains for the year ahead.
