North Kilkenny club celebrate historic feile camogie success
Erin’s Own are just the fourth Kilkenny club to win an A camogie crown
For just the fourth time ever, a Kilkenny club tasted Féile A camogie success when Erin’s Own brought home the title last weekend.
The North Kilkenny side are the first since Dicksboro back in 2013 to win the camogie title at the top grade after they defeated Barryroe (Cork) in the Portlaoise final.
Erin’s Own put in a dominat display in the decider as they took home the victory on a final 2-7 to 1-1 scoreline, sparking jubilant scenes occuring on the O’Moore Park pitch.
The Kilkenny champions advanced from a group that included Kilmaley (Clare), Newcastlewest (Limerick) and Gort (Galway) before then accounting for Thurles Sarsfields (Tipperary) in the semi-finals.
On the hurling side of things, John Lockes and Blacks and Whites flew the flag for Kilkenny with the Callan club exiting the competition in the Division One plate semi-final against Naas while for the Blacks and Whites they lost out to Abbeyleix St Lazerian’s in the Division Five final in nearby Clonad.
