Aine Keane, Galway: “We are really looking forward to Sunday’s Very Camogie League final, but also it being a part of a historic day for the Camogie Association and GAA. We have integrated new players into the squad and have trained hard for the past few weeks, so looking forward to Sunday now.”
Karen Kennedy, Tipperary: “We are all really looking forward to Sunday and just focusing on getting a good team performance. We had a bit of a slow start to the Very Leagues, but have been working to improve each game and hopefully will continue that on Sunday.”
Aoife Ní Chaiside, Derry: “We are looking forward to the Very 2A League final against Westmeath. We have used the league to integrate new players into the panel, so it’s great to get an extra game in before Championship starts. We feel like we didn’t do ourselves justice against Westmeath the last day out, we want to perform better and look forward to the challenge.”
Aoife O’Malley, Westmeath: ”We are really looking forward to the game. Heads have been down preparing for it, and getting ready for the occasion. We have been training hard and putting in tough shifts since November. Hopefully this will be a good start to a long year.”
Head of Marketing for Very, Catherine O’Toole said: “In 2024, we celebrate our 8th year as title sponsor of the Very National Camogie Leagues. Over this time, we’ve seen firsthand the significant role Camogie plays in the lives of our customers and the broader community across Ireland. Our dedication lies in bolstering and championing women in sports, perpetually striving to spotlight their achievements. We ask you to join us in supporting the finalists this weekend in Croke Park for what promises to be an exciting day of sport and entertainment.”
The newly appointed Uachtarán of the Camogie Association, Brian Molloy said; ‘This upcoming weekend promises some thrilling and closely fought Very Camogie League finals as ten teams vie for the prestigious national title. The first three finals are scheduled for Saturday, April 13th, while the 1A and 2A finals will be held on Sunday, April 14th at Croke Park.
The Camogie Association has recently unveiled a new Strategy with the goal of increasing attendance at Camogie events by 20% by 2026. We urge fans, supporters, families, friends, and clubs to come out in full force to cheer on their county teams this weekend. We also call on GAA and Ladies Gaelic Football fans to show their support as we strive towards a more integrated Association in the future.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to our dedicated sponsors Very for their ongoing support in promoting our National Leagues and our game. Their commitment to our Association has been instrumental in elevating our game to new levels, and we are truly grateful for their continued partnership.”
