Development Update by Tipperary Camogie Development Officer Grainne O’Leary

U8 &U10 County blitzes.

We have seen the return of the county blitzes for these two age groups and there has been a fantastic carnival type atmosphere at all venues with huge numbers of girls taking part.  The camogie skills on offer have been splendid to watch showing the huge amount of work that has been going on at underage around the county in lock downs, so well done to all the coaches. Special mention to all our young whistlers who have made themselves available for all these blitzes.

U12.

The under 12 leagues are well under way with 5 rounds played. It’s great to see two new clubs enter teams in 2022, Moyne temple Touhy and St Marys Clonmel.

This year we have 38 clubs enter u12 leagues with 21 having a second team at this grade, so again testament to the work going on at club level.

Mini Games 

Some young girls had a great opportunity to play at half time of our recent senior and junior camogie games in the County Camogie Grounds. It was a great day out for these girls watching their idols playing and showcasing their own skills at half time. Well done to all the girls.
