Richie Dunne (0879055421)
Team Mentors for 2021,
Caroline Duignan, Sadhbh Ní Dhuinn, Colin Dunlevy and Richie Dunne.
The Under 14 team is for girls born in 2007 or those entering 1st year in secondary school (2020/2021). New girls are always welcome, come along for a couple of sessions to see if it’s your kind of thing.
Team training will hopefully resume around Easter, we are currently awaiting further instructions regarding return to play protocols. In the meantime we’d like you all to encourage the girls to do some individual training to keep up their skills and fitness levels.
All fixtures will be sent to parents/guardians via our WhatsApp group.
We are very grateful to our current kit sponsors, Niko, suppliers of the highest quality bathroom fixtures and fittings.

TEAM NEWS
Due to falling numbers and an over reliance on girls born in 2008, especially for our 2nd team, it has been decided to just go with one u14 team in 2021. Collie Galvin has stepped away to take up the position as manager of our now expanded 2008 teams and Sean O’Gorman has taken on the role of managing our 3rd adult camogie team. We’d like to thank both Sean and Collie for all their efforts and endeavours with this team from the very beginning. Sean and his trusty diary will be a massive loss as he was the driving force behind so much of the activities and extra curricular stuff that we’ve got to take part in over the last 6 years.

PRACTICE
Please encourage your daughter to practice at home as often as possible. The difference between kids who are good at sport and those who are not is purely down to how much practice they do, “natural talent” has nothing to do with it !.
Parents can play an extremely important roll by simply asking the girls to demonstrate what they have learned.

Challenge game against Maynooth, 12-07-2020
The Faughs Celtic u13s, all set to start the 2020 season with a couple of challenge games away to Naomh Olaf’s.
The Golden Rule
You do not grow into a hurl. You wouldn’t buy your child a pair of Football boots that were 3 sizes too big so don’t do it with their hurl. Small and light is always right.
Fingallians U12s Camogie Tournament June 2019
Our U12 Camogie team got to secure their first piece of silverware this weekend and at their first attempt as it happens. The girls were invited to take part in a fabulous little tournament run by Fingallians. Drawn in Group B, the girls first seen off the challenge both St Finnians and St Maurs before then accounting for Maynooth in the semifinal. The final was a re-run of the earlier game with St Maurs as they had managed to get the better of Group A winners Fingallians in the other semi. Again our girls came out on top to keep their 100% record intact and take home the Cup. A great day was had by all and our sincere thanks goes to the Fingallians Club for running such a well organised event.

Camán to Croker
Croke Park was finally graced by the Faughs Celtic 2007 girls this weekend. Although even at u12 we had 3 old hands who had already managed to play in Croker with their respective schools as part of last years Cumán Ná Bunscoil finals. The rest of the squad took to the hallowed turf like ducks to water and for quite a few of them you’d get the feeling that this may be just the first of many trips to headquarters.
St Munna’s of Westmeath, St Cillian’s of Offaly and Sallins from Kildare made up the opposition and none of them are likely to forget the name Faughs in a hurry.
The standard of play from the Faughs girls was exceptional and it was very rewarding to see all the hard work done at training being put into practise. The girls were a credit to the club with their positive attitude shining through despite the seemingly endless substitutions. Sean O’Gorman did trojan work ensuring that everybody got to share the experience and show off their skills to parents and grandparents alike that were in attendance in great numbers.

Good Counsel, Naas and Whitehall Colmcille provided the opposition. We had 23 players turned out on the day and we played a total of six games. Lots of encouraging signs on show as the girls are getting more confident in their abilities with each passing month. Next stop is Croke Park on Easter Monday for Cumann to Croker…

A very handy video for any parents that would like to help their daughters to practise at home. DJ Carey explains the fundamental elements of the game and how they should be performed.
The U11 Camogie crew were away to enjoy a day in the sunny southeast this weekend. A massive thanks goes out to our fantastic hosts in Craanford Fr O’Regans GAA and Camogie club. We got to take part in a really well organised blitz, involving 3 teams from Faughs, 2 teams from Craanford and another from Ferns St Aidans GAA. There was a feast of camogie served up by all 6 teams involved and it was well worth the admission money.
After being fed and watered by our hosts we then moved on to Kiltennel Riding School for some riding lessons and a bit a bit of horseplay before returning home to the clubhouse for some well earned pizza. The girls were a credit to Faughs both on and off the pitch.

** A FEW PICS FROM OUR LATEST TRIP TO JUMP ZONE **
What a great way to finish up the 2016 season. We more than held our own taking 4 wins from six matches against strong Kilmacud Crokes and Naomh Olaf teams. Olaf’s have to be congratulated for their running of this blitz and a big thankyou to them for supplying medals and goodie bags for all the girls.
Away Day ~ 2016
We would just like to say a big Thankyou to our hosts, Portlaoise G.A.A. club for putting on an incredible blitz for the girls. A great day was had by all and everything went very smoothly, thanks in no small part to all the parents who came along with us.
