ADULTS

In 2006 we entered a team in the Dublin League adding a new dimension to the adult game within the club.  This provided us with 10 extra games. We are grateful to the Dublin County Board who afforded us this opportunity and all Dublin clubs we met. We had two team in the Clane sevens – enjoyed greatly.

County Teams

As Wicklow County Board took a decision, which we strongly opposed, not to have any County teams this year, our players were denied the chance to represent their county, the highlight of any players career. Consequently we had no county players at any level in 2005, for the first time since Una Keddy set up the club 11 years ago. Some of our players are lucky enough to be playing at third level.

Schools

St. Brigid’s GNS, won the Cumann na mBunscol Primary School Blitz in the Autumn, and have qualified for the Indoor Camogie finals – Congratulations.  Thanks to all teachers for their support. Orlaith Donnelly was the school Coach for 3rd – 6th class under the Club  - School link programme.We provided 5 people to run a Camogie module in St. Brigid’s GNS activity day which introduced pupils from Junior Infants to Second Class to the game of Camogie. Thanks to everyone who contributed on that day.
