Speaking about Camán to Croker President of the Camogie Association Catherine Neary said:

“Camán to Croker is a fantastic initiative which focusses on a very important group, players under twelve years of age. It provides them with an opportunity to experience the skills and fun of the game and leaves them with fantastic memories of playing in Croke Park, a place where all young players aspire to play. Camán to Croker has grown significantly over the last five years and it is wonderful to see over 1,150 young players coming to Croke Park to take part.”
