Midwest Cork hurling and camogie club's youth teams faced talented sides at Kerry tournament
The sides played in exciting games against Kerry GAA clubs Rathmore, St Patrick's and Firies, while they also faced fellow-Cork side Banteer, on the day.
Communication officer for Laochra Óg, Siobhan O'Shea, said her club's sides played 'exceptionally well and should be really proud of themselves'.
She offered her thanks to parents who made the trip to Kerry as well as club sponsor, Follain.
Earlier in the week, Laochra Óg's U12 camogie side made the trip to West Cork to face S Colum's GAA Club.
The travelling team was captained by Julie Mae, who played superbly in goal.
The game was an entertaining spectacle despite the wet conditions.
On Wednesday, July 2, Laochra Óg's minor team was presented with a new set of jerseys, kindly sponsored by Barry O'Brien Motors in Clondrohid.
Minor captain Lily was joined by members of the panel to receive the new kit, which the team will wear in their first championship match in late July.
Ms O'Shea thanked Mr O'Brien for his support.

Transfer wrap: Newcastle move for Anthony Elanga, Everton close in on Thierno Barry
Anthony Elanga is on Tyneside as he prepares to complete a big-money move from Nottingham Forest to Newcastle. The 23-year-old winger was filmed touching down at Newcastle International Airport on Tuesday evening with a view to undergoing a medical. Newcastle have remained silent on reports that the two clubs have agreed a fee which could eventually amount to £55million for the Sweden international, but the PA news agency reports that they are close to completing a deal. Former Manchester United trainee Elanga has been coveted by the Magpies for some time and the prospect of him linking up with international team-mate Alexander Isak at St James' Park is one which will whet the appetite of the Toon Army. Eddie Howe's men ended their 70-year wait for a major domestic trophy when they won the Carabao Cup last season while also securing a second Champions League campaign in three years. That was achieved without a major addition to the squad in three transfer windows as the club fought to comply with profitability and sustainability regulations, a process which saw them sell promising talents Elliot Anderson - who enjoyed a stunning season with Forest - and Yankuba Minteh last summer and Miguel Almiron and Lloyd Kelly in January. Elanga's addition to a pool of frontmen which also includes Anthony Gordon, Harvey Barnes, Jacob Murphy and Will Osula, but no longer Callum Wilson, would represent a fresh statement of intent and finally end a lengthy wait for reinforcements. Elsewhere Everton are closing in on the signing of Villarreal striker Thierno Barry for a fee in the region of €30million. Negotiations are progressing positively and it has been reported that Barry is expected on Merseyside to complete a medical. It is understood the 22-year-old Frenchman had a #34.5m release clause in his Villarreal contract, but Everton are hoping to complete the deal for a lower fee. Barry scored 11 goals in 35 LaLiga appearances last season as Villarreal secured Champions League football after finishing fifth. After starting his early career at Toulon and then Sochaux, he made his first-team breakthrough at Belgian club Beveren before joining Swiss side Basel in 2023. Barry scored 10 goals in 36 appearances in total for Basel before moving on to Villarreal in the summer of 2024. Everton boss David Moyes is hoping to boost his strike force following the departure of Dominic Calvert-Lewin at the end of his contract, while forward Armando Broja returned to Chelsea after last season's loan spell.

Brian Lohan to remain as Clare hurling manager for three more years
Brian Lohan has received a third extension as Clare senior hurling manager, which will bring him up to 2028. The new three-year agreement was endorsed by delegates at Tuesday's county board meeting. The 2024 All-Ireland SHC winning manager has been in charge of Clare since the 2019 season. He received his first three-year extension in 2022 after serving two seasons and a one-year understanding for this season was agreed following last year's All-Ireland final victory over Cork. Lohan's management team will be confirmed in the coming weeks. The outgoing group comprised long-time selector Ken Ralph, and 2013 All-Ireland winning defender Brendan Bugler and Tommy Corbett who joined from last year. Former Tipperary and Galway strength and conditioning coach Lukasz Kirszenstein has also been with Clare since September 2023.
