Mary O’Connor of Cork who has three All-Stars lead the camp on Wednesday and focused on defensive work such as hooking, blocking and marking. Conor Cooney and Laura Linnane were also coaching on the day and the girls also looked at goal scoring and combination play again.
Colin Lynch led Thursday’s session and here girls looked at the technical aspects of play with hand passing, long striking, hurley control, and qualities needed by players in development and standards of inter county play.
