Kilkenny players dominate Minor Camogie team of the year
There are nine All-Ireland winning Cats in the final selection
There are a remarkably high nine Kilkenny players on the Electric Ireland minor camogie team of the year after the all-star selection was confirmed.
From Ella Walton in goal to Hannah Tennyson, Erin Morrissey and Ona Kennedy in defence to the star midfield pairing of Shannon and Eleanor Doheny and finishing with Holly Ryan, Emily Phelan and Amy O’Shea in attack, it’s a stunning reward for a remarkable season for the Cats at minor level.
The 2026 Minor Championship will go down as one of the most competitive and skilful in recent memory. Following a pair of high-stakes semi-finals which saw Kilkenny dig deep to edge past a resolute Cork team and Galway secure their final berth in a shootout with Tipperary.
The season culminated in a showdown at UPMC Nowlan Park. There, defending champions Kilkenny put on a masterclass, overcoming a determined Galway side 3-17 to 1-8 to secure their ninth All-Ireland Minor title.
The 2026 Electric Ireland Hurling and Football Minor Star Teams of the Year will be announced on July 30th and August 6th respectively. These awards will acknowledge the outstanding performance from this year’s Electric Ireland GAA Minor Championship.
