Minor Camogie Win County Final
Congratulations to our Minor A Camogie Girls who captured the Dublin Minor Championship title on Sunday against Kilmacud Crokes. Five points down at halftime, the Lucan girls dug deep and despite the dreadful conditions, held Crokes to just 3 points in the second half, while scoring 2-6 to leave the final score at 2-6 to 2-10, a four point win for Lucan and a great end to the year for the club. Huge credit to all the players and management for all the hard work they have put in over the last few months, match report below.
As all adult games have now concluded for the year, Pitch 1 is now closed until a date in the New Year yet to be decided. Challenge games should be arranged for away venues and trials can be scheduled on the AWP. Please contact your pitch coordinator for more details.
