Camogie chiefs stand firm in venue row with Rossa

THE Camogie Association is not budging on the venue for the All-Ireland senior club final between St. Lachtain’s from Kilkenny and Antrim side O’Donovan Rossa.

The game goes ahead as scheduled in O’Moore Park on Sunday, along with the junior final, Association President Liz Howard insisted yesterday in Croke Park.

O’Donovan Rossa are angered by the fact that they have to travel almost 160 miles to Portlaoise, whereas it’s quite close to Freshford, the home base of the Kilkenny champions.
