Kilkenny go in pursuit of All-Ireland minor honours as they attempt to regain the All-Ireland lost last year; they play Tipperary in the decider next Sunday.

Kilkenny 5-17

Kilkenny under-16 camogie girls easily regained their Leinster title as they defeated Dublin at a sun-drenched Tom Ryall Park, Kilmanagh, last Sunday afternoon. It was an efficient, disciplined, and workmanlike display from Kilkenny, who surged clear during the second-half, as the switching of Miriam Walsh had a decisive effect. Walsh scored 1-2 in the second-half — 1-4 in total as they killed off the hopes of the Metropolitan girls.

Last Saturday was a memorable day for Kilkenny schools as Grennan College (Thomastown), Loreto Kilkenny and Castlecomer Community School all recorded All-Ireland victories in Trim Co Meath. The day began with Grennan College landing honours in the Roinn B title defeating St Louis Ballymena 4-9 to 3-3. Grennan playing into the breeze during the opening-half led 3-2 to 2-1 at half-time thanks to goals from Aine Lannon, Niamh Donnelly and Kelly Hamilton.

Grennan College secured their place in the All-Ireland senior C colleges camogie final in Thomastown last Saturday with a hard earned victory over the Mercy of Waterford. The Thomastown girls had to dig deep and show the character that saw them battle through Leinster. The girls were unbeaten all season, and with the showpiece left to come, hopes are high that they can go all the way. Played in blustery conditions in front of a large vociferous support, it was always going to be a tough game.

GAA commentator, Mícheál Ó Muirchearta, doing his commentary on the Feile Parade on Friday night on seeing the Thomastown team approaching the review stand said” I see an unbelievable sight before me — a football team from Kilkenny”.
