Laochra Óg Easter Hurling Camp
Laochra Óg Easter Hurling Camp took place on Tuesday 22nd to Thursday 24th April in the grounds of Coláiste Íosagain, Ballyvourney. Thanks to Naomh Abán GAA and Udarás na Gaeltachta for the use of the training field and handball alleys. Thanks to Donnacha Lucey for organising the preparation of these facilities. Thanks to Carthach Keane for organising the coaches who took part in helping us to organise the camp.
The coaches who took part were Cathrach Keane, Jamie Wall, Fionn Keane, Damien Cahalane and Luke Meade. Their assistants were Gearóid Lucey, Killian Lynch, Brian Corcoran, Evan Casey, Conor Healy, Hugh O’Shea and Anne O’Connell. Food was supplied by Ó Luasa Foodstore, Ballymakeera with sponsorship from Cuisine de France and Denney Meats. Apart from one or two showers the weather was good and sunny for the three days involved. A few weeks earlier a competition took place within the primary schools in Ballyvourney, Cill na Martra, Macroom and
Clondrohid to design a new crest for the club and Elaina Lucey from Carriganimma was the overall winner. A presentation was made by the coaches on behalf of the club on the last day of camp. Elaina was presented with a club jersey, hurley, sliotar and club annual membership certificate. Lots of parents gave up their time to help out at the camp and it was greatly appreciated. The camp was a great success and very enjoyable. Thanks again to everyone involved.
