National & Regional Feile Round Up

It was a busy weekend for six Kilkenny club sides with there under 14 teams involved in Feile action.  Two Kilkenny clubs were involved in National Feile action with St  Fiachra’s and Paulstown / Goresbridge travelling North. St  Fiachra’s  travelled to Co. Antrim  where  they competed in Division one of the Feile where they recorded two good victories  over  Kilruane Mac Donaghs and Cuchullains Dunloy and were  unlucky to come up short against last year’s champions Loughgiel.  With these performances they qualified for the Quarter Finals and were unlucky to come up short against St Vincent’s of Dublin by a point. Paulstown / Goresbridge  travelled to Co. Tyrone and competed  in Division 5 where they finished second  in there group having recorded two wins over Éire Óg  and  The Loup  and two  narrow losses to Castleblayney  and Cois Fharraige Aontaithe  which qualified them for the shield semi final. In the semi finals they defeated Flipadeoiri of Longford 1-00 to no score. This victory set up a final showdown with Borrisleigh where they recorded a 0-06 to 1-00 victory, a great win for the side.
In the Regional Feile competitions  the Kilkenny sides were very unlucky, Piltown travelled to Portarlington in Laois and were unlucky not too progress through  having put in some brave performances but just came up short in the end. Thomastown travelled to Tipperary where they qualified for the Downey Cup final but just came up short against Gailltir of Waterford.  Young Ireland’s were at home in Kilkenny and Qualified for the Pat Moloney Shield final and were unlucky to come up against a strong Lucan Sarsfields where they just came up short in the end. Emeralds travelled to Galway and were unlucky not to progress through to the finals having put in some brave performances. It was a great weekend of camogie action with Kilkenny sides putting in some terrific performances and even though some teams just came up short they should be very proud of their endeavours  and they done there clubs and county very proud. The future of Kilkenny Camogie is well and truly in save hands.
