Great excitement at one camogie club as AFL star presents medals to juvenile players

St Cronans Camogie club gathered to celebrate a fantastic medal presentation last Friday night at Mc’s Bar - The Stand Roscrea.

There was great excitement in Roscrea recently as a delighted crowd welcomed a special guest on the night at the St Cronans juvenile medal presentation as local sports star Megan Ryan was on hand to present the medals.

Ryan who is currently playing Australian rules with Essendon Megan spoke to the girls about her own career starting at St Cronans camogie under the guidance of Patsy Carroll (RIP) and progressed with Tipperary Camogie development squads from the age of 13 to play with the senior Tipperary Camogie team for many years.

Megan outlined to the huge crowd about the setbacks she has endured and overcome in her career and how she is currently “living the dream“ over in Oz.

The club presented her with a Tipp jersey to take back with her and all of Roscrea are so proud of the player / person she is and of how she is an inspiration to this next generation of young Camogie players.

Megan presented medals to the U15 squad 2022 (Danny Bowe invitational in Mt Sion plate winners) and the U16 squad 2022 who won the Patsy Carroll invitational and finally the U16 squad 2021 who won the county u16c championship in 2021 (Covid times).
