Many thanks to the coaches who attended on the night and the u16 players who were excellent and hopefully benefitted also. Thanks also to Offaly GAA for the use of the fantastic facilities on the night. Offaly Camogie have a series of upcoming workshops for coaches in the county and are looking to build on the recent coaching courses ran in the county.
