Inniskeen had a home venue for the Louth Senior League fixture against Cooley. This was a well contested game that showed Cooley were no push over. Inniskeen put in a very gusty performance to emerge winners by a 2 point margin. A big welcome to Gillian Hamill who has returned to Camogie after a few years absence, it is great to see Gillian back in action.
Still a few Senior Registration fees outstanding, players are asked to bring it along to training as soon as possible.
Underage
Training continues every Wednesday in Grattan Pairc – Good numbers have been reported to date and hopefully will continue for the underage training which has enhanced their progress.
Best wishes and congratulations to Pauline Boylan and Dermot on the birth of Baby Casey. Hopefully Pauline will be back in training in the not too distant future.
