Family honour on the line as junior decider approaches

RESPECTIVE team managers Michael Maher and Noel Lucey have a personal interest in the outcome of tomorrow’s All-Ireland junior camogie final between Clare and Dublin in Croke Park (1pm).

Maher, from Kilmaley, has one daughter in the squad while Lucey, who describes himself as “a former Éire Óg man” from mid-Cork, has two daughters involved - one of whom is a hockey international.

The eldest is Ciara, who plays with Ballyboden/St Endas and UCD, while Emer, 17, is the youngest member of the Dublin panel.
