Great Excitement as Ahane U12 Camógie secure County U12B Shield Title in hotly contested county final
Ahane 2-1 Croagh-Kilfinny 1-2
Ahane U12 girls secured the county U12B Shield title in a closely fought match under glorious Summer conditions in Monaleen last evening. The very well drilled Croagh-Kilfinny team came out of the traps first and put the Ahane team under severe pressure in the first half and only for great saves from the Ahane goalkeeper Emer Kenny and a resolute fullback line of Catriona O'Halloran, Alana Casey and Niamh Martin, Croagh-Kilfinny would have surely expected more return than a single goal and point from their first half endevours. Ahane on the other hand also secured a first half goal resulting from a great 21 yard shot to back of the net by Aine Reynolds. So at half time only a single point divided the sides.
The Croagh-Kilfinny girls got off to another strong start after half time and were rewarded with a point from a long range free. At this stage the Ahane half back pairing of Aoife Quinn and Aine O'Curry came into their own and were strongly supported Ahane midfield pairing of Sine Hartigan and Faye Short. The Ahane full forward line of Kathlyn Coleman, Aine Mooney and Emily Knapp kept the pressure on Croagh Kilfinny backs and were rewarded with a 21 yard free that Roisin O'Mara dispatched to the back of the Croagh Kilfinny net. Ahane now ahead by a single point threw everything into the last, very tense 5 minutes and clever use of the Ahane bench with Kathleen Conway, Niamh O'Curry, Rheanna Byrnes, Rachel Slattery and Zoe Mullane meant that Ahane were able to take advantage of a final 65 to score another point and secure a well deserved victory in this very exciting county final fixture.
Ahane captain, Aine O'Curry accepted the county shield on behalf of Ahane and rightly thanked Croagh-Kilfinny for an extremely tough, but also very skillful and fair match on the night. The Ahane side were last seen doing the traditional victory circuit of Castleconnell village in car convoy!

Ahane recently hosted the inaugural Peggy Duffy Memorial Cup in glorious sunshine in Mackey Park. Over 85 young girls from the ages of seven to thirteen from the three local schools, Ahane, Castleconnell and Lisnagry participated. The girls were divided into two age groups Under 10 (4 teams) and Under 13 (4 teams). Each team played each other once with the top two reaching the final. It was a great to see so many girls enjoying the day and the standard of camogie was a joy to watch. There was nothing between the teams in the final, with a single point separating the teams. The winning team of Kate Herbert, Aine O’Curry, Sarah Ryan, Catriona O’Halloran, Kaitlin Coleman, Amy Ryan, Katie Molloy, Christine O’Grady and Sine Hartigan, were presented with the Cup.
Peggy Duffy was a major driving force behind Ahane Camogie Club, having restarted the Club in 1960 with Fr Murray. Peggy went on to win five County Medals playing with her beloved Ahane and played with Ahane in a Camogie Club All Ireland Final against St Paul’s, Kilkenny, played in Castleconnell. Peggy served as Secretary of the Limerick Camogie Board for a number of years and was a selector on the Limerick Junior All Winning team in the 1970’s. During this period Peggy trained a number of underage teams in the parish.
Our thanks to the players, schools, parents, referees, organising committee and anybody who helped to make the tournament such a huge success.
