Offaly camogie club competes very well at national Feile finals

Naomh Brid Camogie Club competed in the Division 2 National Feile competition in Kilanerin Ballyfad gaa grounds and Tara Rocks Gaa grounds in Co Wexford. 

Naomh Brid came away with a win in their first Feile game over St Geraldine's Portglenone of Antrim.

They lost out to De laSalle in the 2nd game - De laSalle were eventual cup winners, and deservingly so, as Katie Mullane, daughter of the great Waterford hurler, showed her class.

Naomh Brid won again in the last group game against Lough Lene of Westmeath who lost all their games. 

Portglenone beat De laSalle in their last group game which left 3 teams on 4 pts, De leSalle,  Naomh Brid and Portglenone. 

After considerable studying of the rules, along with consultation with officials,  the 3 teams were separated by score difference with Naomh Brid just missing out on qualification, progressing to the Shield Final with a win over locals Tara Rocks.

They were beaten by Naomh Eamonn of Laois in the final with their strong panel of 34 players listed on the programme. 

It was a remarkable achievement for Naomh Brid camogie club to reach joint 3rd in the cup competition and only separated by score difference in progressing to a cup semi-final.  They had a small panel of 18 which consisted of 3 girls at 12yrs of age, and only 5 girls turning 15 this year, the remaining players are 13 and 14.

It's the club first show at the feile competition after they won the u15A Final in Offaly for the first time in the clubs history.
