Midwest Cork hurling and camogie club's youth teams faced talented sides at Kerry tournament
On Sunday, July 6, the U8 and U7 panels went head-to-head with several teams at a blitz in Rathmore.
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.
