Camross produced a commanding and composed performance to defeat Ballinacollig by four points, securing the coveted Agnes O’Farrelly Cup and delivering a landmark All-Ireland title for the club and parish.
This All-Ireland success crowned a remarkable season for Camross Camogie, who completed an outstanding treble at county and provincial level, having already captured the Laois Intermediate League, Laois Intermediate Championship, and the Leinster Intermediate Championship earlier in the year. It marks one of the most successful campaigns in the club’s proud history.
The victory has been widely celebrated throughout Camross and the surrounding area, with the team inspiring the next generation of players and reinforcing the strength of women’s sport at grassroots level. The Camross panel has been lauded not only for its athletic success but also for the role the players play as role models within their community.
Angela McEvoy, Director of Service, said: “You now are role models within your county and community, you are not distant celebrities, but sisters, neighbours, students, teachers, nurses, apprentices, and workers who train around real life. Your win too has strengthened your community.”
Cllr Conor Bergin, Cathaoirleach of Borris-in-Ossory/Mountmellick Municipal District, said: “This achievement is a tremendous source of pride for Camross, for the wider Municipal District and for the entire county. The dedication, resilience and commitment shown by the players and management throughout the season were fully reflected in their outstanding performance on the national stage.”
Camross Camogie Club expressed sincere gratitude to all who supported the team throughout the year, from volunteers and sponsors to loyal supporters who travelled the length and breadth of the country in support of the team’s All-Ireland journey.
This historic All-Ireland triumph stands as a testament to the club’s culture of commitment, teamwork and ambition, and heralds an exciting future as Camross Camogie look ahead with confidence to the seasons to come.
