FÁILTE ÓN UACHTARÁN
Tá an-áthas orm fáilte a chur roimh gach duine atá i láthair inniu. Táim cinnte go mbeidh sár-chomórtas idir na foirne againn agus go mbainfimid go léir taitneamh as an lá speisialta seo.
Welcome to all participants, mentors, families, and supporters joining us for today’s National Under-14 Camogie Blitz. We’re thrilled to celebrate another exciting day dedicated to our young players at this crucial stage in their Camogie journey. This marks the thirteenth year of the blitz, showcasing fresh talent from across the country eager to demonstrate their skills and uphold the proud traditions of club and county Camogie.
Today culminates months of hard work through training sessions, games, and previous blitz events. Each week has been a stepping stone in the players’ development, guiding them along their path within the sport. It’s our hope that today’s participants relish the opportunity to represent their counties, forging cherished memories in this enjoyable event.
With 28 counties and 59 teams across eight divisions, this year’s high level of participation reflects the growing popularity and spirit of the game, involving approximately 1,550 enthusiastic young girls. We extend our gratitude to the counties, coaches, and volunteers whose dedication at the grassroots level ensures the success of events like today’s.
Looking ahead, we’re excited for tomorrow’s Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Championship Finals at Croke Park, the pinnacle of our intercounty season. This year holds special significance as we celebrate the 120th anniversary of the Association. We eagerly anticipate the U14 players contributing to this historic milestone, following in the footsteps of Camogie legends.
To all the teams participating in the parade on All-Ireland Sunday, may you cherish this experience as a highlight of your Camogie journey. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the volunteers and officials contributing to today’s blitz, and to the Dublin, Meath, Kildare and Westmeath clubs for generously hosting us.
Lastly, we wish all participating teams the very best of luck. May today’s event be filled with joy, camaraderie, and unforgettable experiences.
Warm regards,
Brian Molloy
