The Laois Camogie team have found out who they'll play in this year's Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Premier Junior Championship following the draw which was made this afternoon.
Laois come into the 2024 championship having lost all their games in the 2022 and 2023 championships. Laois were due to be relegated from the Intermediate grade in 2023 but the Camogie Association decided against the relegation which left Laois out of their depth again as they lost every single game including the relegation final against Dublin's second team.
They have been drawn in Group 2 alongside Roscommon, Cavan, Louth, Mayo and Limerick. The other group consists of Tipperary, Armagh, Tyrone, Down and Wicklow. The top two teams will qualify for the semi-finals of the competition which are due to be played on Saturday, July 20.
Hilda Breslin, Uachtarán Cumann Camógaíochta said: “The anticipation surrounding the Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Championship draws never fails to deliver exciting matchups and discussions, and this year is certainly no exception. I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to our esteemed sponsors, Glen Dimplex, for their unwavering support as we embark on the third year of our partnership. To all our players and counties, I extend my best wishes for success in what is sure to be an exhilarating championship, following a momentous 2023 campaign which resulted in our highest ever attendance of 30,151 at our Glen Dimplex All Ireland Championship finals in Croke Park. We look forward to collectively continuing to build our attendances this year at all matches from round games all the way to the finals. Best of luck to all the teams, their management, volunteers, clubs and counties for all your hard work and dedication.”
Mike Cavanagh, Glen Dimplex Head of Communications said: “We are delighted to be sponsors of the Camogie All-Ireland Championships for the third year, and look forward to more displays of exhilarating, passionate skill and expertise. It makes us proud to support female sport in Ireland and invest in our communities through our partnership with the Camogie Association. The best of luck to all the Premier Junior, Intermediate and Senior teams for another fantastic championships.”
