Galway get off to a winning start in the Very Ireland Camogie League
Thu, Feb 01, 2024
The Galway Intermediate Camogie team got their Very Division 2B league campaign off to an ideal start as they overcame Kilkenny in windy conditions in Kinvara on Saturday. Conor Dolan’s charges showed how they have improved from their 2023 season campaign and the win was essential to help with building their confidence for the year ahead.
It was a game of two halves in Kinvara and Galway played with the aid of an extremely strong breeze in the first half. It was Kilkenny who opened the game with a free from Rachel Dowling in the opening 2 minutes. That was the only score that Kilkenny registered in the half. Galway had some missed opportunities in the opening 8 minutes as they tried to adjust to the windy conditions. Niamh Spellman with 0-7 points (two from play), 0-3 from Aoibheann Barry and 0-2 from their captain, Ava Lynskey meant that Galway went into the break 0-12 to 0-1 ahead at the half time.

Thu, Jan 25, 2024
Galwegians get their biggest win of the season with a 43-8 win over Omagh Academicals after a dominant second-half performance from the Blues. Coming back from behind in the first half, six second-half tries ensured they consolidated their place at the top of the division with another vital bonus point win at home in Crowley Park.

Omagh responded to their early pressure by winning a penalty 15 minutes in, which was dispatched by Scott Elliot to give the visitors a three-point lead.

Thu, Jan 18, 2024
After scoring 1-1 in injury time to defeat Leitrim last Friday a developmental Galway side now face Roscommon this Friday in the FBD final for the eighth time in ten years.
Roscommon overcame the stubborn challenge of London on Saturday winning out 0-21 to 1-09. Galway defeated Leitrim 2-18 to 1-17 on Friday evening with both new and returning faces impressing in a game that Galway were much more comfortable in than the scoreline suggests. Antaine O’Laoi made a welcome return and impressed in a new role at centre forward finishing with 0-3 to his name while Cein D’Arcy was introduced as a first half substitute and continued his fine form from the Dublin championship, showing why Padraic Joyce recalled him to the squad with some fine fetches and good distribution from the middle of the park.
