Holland
Ladies camogie team travelled to Thurles last weekend to play their third ever
camogie tournament in what has been an exciting debut season for the team.
After their
excellent display in Luxembourg
in June, where the ladies reached the final, the team headed to Thurles to
finish out a strong season which will no doubt be the starting point for many
years of camogie success for Holland !
The ladies
beat familiar foes Luxembourg
and Zurich in the early stages, but were unlucky
to go down to Belgium
and Paris, who both made the final, later in the day.
Despite
only having 12 players, Holland overcame Luxembourg for
a second time, to claim third place overall. The ladies are now in a great
position to kick on from their debut season in the Camogie 7’s next month.
Well done
to all, and thanks to team captain Rose Holland for the player reviews below:
Eimear was
superb in goal, brilliant puck-outs and saves from all angles.
Kate was as
tenacious as ever and a solid player all day. She ran up and down the pitch
endlessly and also scored a goal and a point.
Catherine
Hennessy was a constant threat in the forwards and also scored a goal and a
point.
Mary McP
played fantastically in the back line…was as tough as nails refusing to let
anyone past her!
Mairead
fought through injury to ensure we had enough players to field and refused to
let her marker get on the ball.
Catherine
Smith and Heather were superb especially considering they’d never played
before! Heather played over 3 full games in midfield! And Catherine proved to
be a natural forward.
Sheila did
fantastically when she came on and Lynn
was a massive support and organiser on the sideline.
