All Ireland Camogie Semi Finals @ Nolan Park

Well done to all the U10 girls who played out a draw against Lisdowney in the Camogie Go Games at half time during Kilkenny v Wexford semi final.


They also formed a guard of honour for the teams as they came out on the pitch. Pity about the Kilkenny result.

Kilmacow Camogie Club Annual Awards Night

Kilmacow Camogie Club held their annual awards night at the parish hall in Kilmacow on Saturday 17th October last, their was huge crowd present for a most successful night, tea and refreshments were provided by the parents and a large selection of pictures from the past year were on display. Medals were presented to all the juvenile players by Michelle Quilty member of the Kilkenny Senior Camogie team. Toby Vereker (Club Chairman) gave a short speech outlining the huge success of the Club since its formation 3 years ago and thanking trainers, committee, friends and sponsors for all their help in the past year. Special thanks to all who helped out in making this night a great success, congratulations to all the girls on their success on the field. We all look forward to building on this success next year, the Clubs AGM will be held early in the New Year and new members and helpers are always welcome. Picture below shows trainers and committee members for the past year.

History Kilmacow Camogie Club

The club was formed in 2007 by Angela O Dwyer and Olivia Twomey. The clubs first major activity was to take part in the Feile na Gael, which was hosted in Kilkenny County that year. We have also since taken part in the GAA La Na gClub this year (2009).




This year (2009) the membership has grown to 65 players and 15 committee members, including 10 trainers. The club colours are green and white and the club shares the GAA facilities with the Kilmacow Hurling and Football Club. Our training times are Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6 to 7, this arrangement works well with the other teams using the sports complex facilities.

The Camogie club has had a few busy years of fundraising, including raffles, pub quizzes, bag packing and point to point racing day. In 2009 The Camogie Club kitted out our own dressing room which is small but well used. Special thanks to Ger Hennessy and all the parents who helped out in this endeavour. We also paid for the erection of a new net behind one goal on the main pitch; this is a big addition to training facilities.

Our main sponsors have been Country Style Foods, Roadstone & Kerry Foods, we are very fortunate to have had their support in purchasing our jerseys and throughout the years since our formation. Thanks also to Nicky Molloy at Maximum Clothing and Rory Williams at Country Style Foods for all their help during the last year. A combination of player involvement and adult cooperation has contributed to the enjoyment and success that the club and its members have enjoyed this year.
