Kilmacud All Ireland Shield Champions 2009

`
Kilmacud All Ireland Sevens Camogie Champions 2009 - has a lovely ring to it! These girls made history on Saturday 12th September when they took the All Ireland Sevens title for the first time ever. There were 32 teams in the Shield competition and Clonduff beat everyone that came their way - Group Section played at Clonkeen College - Ballinderry, Derry (2-7 to 0-2), Portglenone, Antrim (6-7 to 3-4) and Crosserlough, Cavan 8-7 to 0-1; they remained in Clonkeen for the quarter final where they defeated Castledawson, Derry (4-9 to 2-3). Then it was on to HQ at Kilmacud for the semi final where they narrowly defeated Carlow outfit Myshall (4-5 to 4-4) to set up a final meeting with big Down rivals Ballycran. But just as in the County Final against the same opposition the 'Yellas' were in no mood for defeat and emerged winners on a scoreline of 4-12 to 3-4. The team pictured above Back row (l to r) Eileen Hamill, Maura Quinn, Guinevra McGilligan, John Crossey, Sheenagh McConville.  Middle row (l to r) Karen Gribben, Sara-Louise Carr, Lorraine Maginn, Kitty Fegan and Leanne McParlan.

Senior Camogie Champions 2009

Clonduff Senior Camogie team completed the double on Sunday 16th August with an emphatic win in the Championship over the team that took the title from them last year, Ballycran on a score of 5-10 to 2-5. Every single member of the team played a determined part in wresting back the title. Clonduff, playing with the advantage of a strong breeze in the first half made it count and went in leading 4-7 to 0-1 at half time - the Ballycran point was the first score of the game. Ballycran made a game of it in the second half but they never looked like overhauling the Clonduff tally. The final score was Clonduff 5-10 Ballycran 2-5.
Mary McPolin, on scoring Clonduff's 3rd goal, sustained a neck injury and was removed to hospital - thankfully this was  just a precautionary measure and she returned to the clubrooms to join her club mates in the celebrations. Well Done Mary!
Team: Kitty Fegan, Onagh Gribben, Debra Murray, Grace Brown, Leann McParlan, Fionnuala Carr (Capt), Ursula Quinn, Paula Gribben, Ciara Havern, Orla Maginn, Lorraine Maginn, Lisa McPolin, Mary McPolin, Sara Louise Carr, Karen Gribben. subs used: Megan O'Reilly, Orla Gribben
The curtain raiser was the Div 3 Final which Newry Shamrocks won, defeating Ballygalget. Well done Shamrocks on whose team there are three Clonduff Senior Ladies players – Michaela Downey, Elaine McCourt and the injured Aoibheann Downey.

Clonduff Captain Fionnuala Carr with County Camogie Chairperson Jenny Cultra and Pauline O'Hare, Downshire Arms Hilltown (Sponsors of Senior Camogie Championship 2009) The Gribben sisters were pivotal in the Championship win - Onagh, Karen and Paula with Karen's little son Jimmy Ursula Quinn did a marvellous marking job on Ballycran star player Catherine McGourty. Ursula is pictured above with her little cousins Eimear and Grace Hamill, no doubt stars of the future.

Click to view my photos35 girls and boys attended the Newry and Mourne District Council sponsored Camogie/Hurling coaching camp in Clonduff Park in the week commencing 11th August 2008. Despite the bad weather there was only one day on which the youngsters were unable to acquire or hone their skills as the rain was mainly confined to the afternoons. That one day, Tuesday, was the day Mayor Colman Burns decided to visit. He was pleasantly surprised to find the children and their coaches, Kitty Fegan and Moya Maginn, engaged in constructive activity in the clubrooms – old fashioned board games, jig saw puzzles, etc – a first time experience for many of the participants!
The visit was unexpected but luckily Maura Quinn was on hand at short notice to capture the occasion on camera. Mayor Burns not only posed with the youngsters for photographs but also let them 'practice for the future' with his Chain of Office.

Thanks to Mayor Burns who, the day following his visit to the camp sent a gift of sliothárs from the Camp!
