• All-Ireland Camogie Silverware

  Thu 30 Nov 2023

   

  We were delighted to receive a very special visit from the ‘Jack McGrath Cup’ which was won by the Derry Senior Camogie Team when they defeated Meath to become All-Ireland Intermediate Camogie Champions. 

  The Cup won by the U14 Derry Camogs in their All-Ireland Campaign was also on display. 

  Hopefully some of our young camogs will be inspired to bring these cups back to Derry when it is their turn to compete in the future.
