Niamh Ní Chaoimh has eyes on big prize after eventful path to final
Their journey, involving as it did, incorrectly signed regrading documentation, letters of rejection from the Camogie Association, and a late night arbitration meeting in Thurles, has made the final destination that little bit sweeter.
Back in early February, nine Cork players — Sarah Fahy, Niamh Ní Chaoimh, Amy Lee, Katelyn Hickey, Leah Weste, Sarah Buckley, Finola Neville, Lauren Callinan, and Rebecca Walsh — were informed by Camogie Association Ard Stiúrthóir Joan O’Flynn that their regrading applications had been turned down on the grounds that they printed — and not signed — their names on the relevant paperwork. A number of the same players had regraded from senior to intermediate the year previous, having also printed their names on that occasion, and no trouble was encountered. Cue uproar.
