Best Banner competition winners in association with Liberty Insurance were Mayobridge of Down last weekend at the All Ireland Camogie Finals.
 
Mairead Rooney secretary of the club explains how they came up with the idea of the banner. ‘We had a fun filled fortnight preparing for this occasion and a meeting with players, parents and mentors inspired us with our Banner. We all had a say in what should go on the Banner and the girls wanted their names on it to mark this great day, so they all designed their own names and this was put on the back along with our Club crest. The front of the banner was designed by the older members of the club by having a caricature of a recent player (Suzy) and also of a player from yesteryear (named Teasey). The recent player (Suzy) wore our club colours of sky blue/navy and the Teasey wore the colours of what Mayobridge wore back in the early 1900's (Red & Black). There was also a very colourful Camogie crest on the front.  The fun and stress we had making this banner will remain with us for a long time and we would do it all over again! As the girls said when we won the best banner all the hard work has truly "PAID OFF".’
 
Mayobridge under 12’s played in the mini games at half time of the Junior final on Sunday last also. On asked how the club would spend the €1000, Mairead said ‘The €1,000 that we won will go to developing our great game of Camogie within our club and with all the publicity we have had in past few days it can only be good for us as a club.’
