CAMOGIE: SEVERAL LOCAL STARS IN LINE-UP
Herity thrilled as Dublin flying in opening Offaly tie DARRAGH O CONCHUIR

DUBLIN manager David Herity was full of beans after seeing his team get their Liberty Insurance All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship campaign off to a 3-14 to 3-9 start against Offaly at Parnell Park. The side featured a strong west Dublin contingent with Naomh Jude’s Faye McCarthy, Hannah Hegarty; Ballyboden St Enda’s Martha O’Donoghue and Doireaan Mullany and Lucan Sarsfields’ Orla Beagan and Emma Flanagan all involved. Herity led the Dubs to the last four in 2017 but with All-Star Aisling Maher and brilliant defender Eve Marie Elliott among those unavailable this year, there were question marks surrounding their ability to continue the progress. Some observers felt the National League campaign might have suggested a regression but Herity offered a con-
vincing rebuttal after Saturday’s win. “ We ’re a b s o l u t e l y thrilled” said Herity. “The girls have been playing extremely well in training. We knew Offaly were going to be a difficult match so we’re delighted to get off to a good start. “Their fitness levels are excellent. The girls were mad hungry for this… They did exactly today what we’ve been training on for the last seven months so please God it’ll keep going well. “We always expected Offaly to come back at us. They’ve Mick Wall there, a great Kilkenny man, and [Herity’s former Kilkenny hurling teammate] Richie Power is with them now as well and they’re doing excellent work. “We got two wins and a draw from five games in the League. It was progress again with a young team, a new team again. This victory will bring on the team massively heading into Cork in two weeks.”
FEILE FEVER Sars Under-14 reach national quarter-final LUCAN Sarsfields Under-14
hurlers reached the quarterfinal of the national Feile na nGael last weekend in Galway. They opened up with a 5-7 to 0-1 win over hosts Castlegar before losing to Turloughmore and beating Limerick’s Monaleen by nine points. It set up a quarter-final date with Durlas Og, falling 1-8 to 2-3 in a lively affair.

Goals from Gráinne Quinn and Siobhán Kehoe gave Dublin a 2-11 to 1-6 lead, with Sarah Harding finding the net for Offaly. The margin grew to 10 after Róisín Baker
goaled but Offaly kept plugging away and a Siobhán Flannery goal from a penalty brought them within touching distance, but they had given themselves too much to do.
