Cumann na mBunscoil 2023
On Friday the 24th of March, Rathwire NS camogie team set out to Joristown for their 2nd game of Cumann an mBunscoil. At 11 o’clock the game started in rough conditions. It was Rathwire NS vs Raharney NS. It started off well in midfield for Raharney’s Taylor Enright, Saoirse Connaughton, Meadbh Quinn who won the throw in. But Rathwire didn’t give up. There were some great scores from Muireann Lawlor(2-6), Izzie Cooney(1-4), and Zoe Cogan(1-0). Amazing defence from the back line, Saíbhe Quinn, Holly Desmond and Chloe Geoghegan. Some fantastic saves by our brilliant goalkeeper, Lily Tyrrell. Some great play from the forwards, Izzie Cooney, Alexa Reddan, Zoe Cogan, Eva Roca and Hannah Dunne. Some great decisions made by our umpires Eddie Tyrrell, Anthony Cooney and Olive Weir. In the second half there was brilliant scores from Raharney’s captain Saoirse Connaughton who scored 1-1 for Raharney NS. But Rathwire persevered and took the win with a score line of 4-10 to 1-1 to Rathwire. Thanks so much to our coaches Mrs Briody and Mr Ward for all the guidance and support over the last few weeks. Thanks to Raharney Hurling Club for letting us use their pitch for this fantastic game of camogie and thanks to all the supporters who came and supported us all through the years. A huge thank you to our referee on the day Jimmy Greville who without him there wouldn’t have been a match.
