History of Patrickswell Camogie Club by
Maureen O’Grady PRO Patrickswell
Camogie Club has been well represented in camogie circles in Limerick over the
past 50 years. In 1956 the Patrickswell camogie team won their first Senior
County Title. The Team disbanded some years later but many local girls continued
to play with other clubs and represented Limerick on many occasions. Carrie
Gillane(Clancy), Phil Darcy(Mann), Bridgid Darcy(O’Brien), Joan Hayes
(McNally) and Mary Hayes(Meade) all won Munster titles with Limerick and Bridgid
Darcy and Carrie Gillane played on the team that won Limerick’s first Junior
All Ireland camogie championship in 1977. It
was from this strong camogie background that the present club was set up on
March 16, 1983. Present at this first meeting held in the Clubhouse were; Phil
Mann, Byrdie Enright, Teresa Lynch, Kathleen Enright, Josephine O’Neill, Joan
McNally, Rosemary Kelleher and Geraldine Leahy. Officers of the club were
elected as follows: Chairperson, Phil Mann, Secretary, Rosemary Kelleher, and
Treasurer, Byrdie Enright. This
meeting was joined by the then chairman of the senior club, Timmy O’Neill, who
invited us to the next monthly meeting of the GAA Club. At this meeting on April
6, Patrickswell Camogie Club became a club within the parent club and were
promised financial support, help with training and the running of the club Over
the next 20 years the club went from strength to strength reaching many County
Finals at all age groups and being successful on a lot of occasions.
The highlights so far being Intermediate County Champions 1995, U12C
League Champions 2003, Junior League Champions 2003.
We
currently field teams at all the different age groups from U10 right upto Junior
Level. Also, this year we had representatives on various
County Teams U16, U18 and Junior. Christine Carroll a member of our current
Junior Camogie team is the winner of 2 Minor All Ireland medals with Limerick.
On the refereeing scene, Rose Kelleher is a well known inter county
referee who also does and has done a lot of work for camogie in Patrickswell. Over
the years the club has had many representations on the County Board, the most
notable being Claire O’Herlihy (RIP). Claire was County Board Secretary for
many years and did trojan work for camogie.
