Under 16 Camogie


Our Under 16 Camogie panel took part in an Ulster Colleges’ blitz 6.10.16 in Randalstown. The other teams taking part were St. Benedict’s, Randalstown and St. Louise’s, Belfast. St Mary's pupils are entered into the Junior ‘D’ Competition which was originally started up for the Derry/Donegal area for Camogie development purposes. St Mary's played St. Louise’s first and we lost by 4 goals and 6 points. They had a fantastic midfield and half-forward line who were very capable of taking long-range scores. Kate Gallagher and Abbie-Lee Miller in particular showed fantastic teamwork and effort, holding St. Louise’s to only 1 goal and 1 point in the second half. In the next match we played a very strong St. Benedict’s side but St. Mary’s dug deep and really shone! Erika Lysenko pulled off a few inspiring saves in nets with Holly Ella McLaughlin, Leah Garnon and Miadach McSwine showing outstanding supportive play. Kate McDermott and Megan Donnelly were strong in the midfield and the younger players, Alisha Morrison and Ava Canney, really showed off fantastic skill work up front. Our confidence continued to soar and we managed to hold St. Benedict’s to only 2 goals and 4 points. We are so proud of this achievement as St. Benedict’s went on to beat St. Louise’s and win the tournament! Our Camogie is really going from strength to strength and the girls are always a credit to the school. Despite getting beaten in their games they express a real maturity by talking about how much they’ve improved rather than their downfalls, and we have yet to go to a match where our opponents don’t convey their respect for our effort levels!
