Raising their game

Tomorrow is the biggest day in the camogie calendar, but what’s the state of the game at present? Michael Moynihan met the keepers of the flame.

LYNN KELLY, the newly-appointed national development co-ordinator for camogie, is bullish about her favourite game.

“The largest female sporting event of last year in Ireland, in terms of attendance, was the All-Ireland camogie final, with 25,000 people at it. Okay, it was the centenary and there was a bit of a push for it, but it was still the biggest day of the year,” she said.
