Tuesday night, history was made on the Rocks’ pitch. Our first Senior Camogie Championship match ever was played and it did not disappoint.
Numbers were low, but we knew it would be a challenge this year, fielding a Senior and a Junior team. Thank you to Donard Glen for their game spirit and matching our numbers and a special shout out to Orlagh Kelly for stepping up.
From the first whistle the pace was fast with two strong teams. You could not turn your head away for a moment for fear of missing some of the action. At half time Arklow Rocks we 6 points down with the score ARP 1:6 Donard 4:5.
The second half started at the same fast pace as the first. This was kept up for a long as possible, but tiredness set in for some players and Donard capitalised on this, winning at the final whistle.
These players are warriors. This team must now truly believe that they are where they belong, in the Senior Championship. They know what they need to work on, and as previous years have proved, they will put in the effort to get where they want to be, and with excitement, we all get to watch.
Our next match is an away match against Kiltegan on Tuesday 27th August, throw in at 7pm. All support welcome!
