High School Camogie Tournament

Looking back to 2021, a highlight was the very successful first edition of the Tralee Parnells Annual Secondary Schools Camogie Tournament.

The competition took place on Saturdays in June and July 2021 and was organized in a league format. Congratulations to all the teams and players from the Gaelcholáiste, Presentation and Mercy Mounthawk schools. When a generous sponsorship donation from Fexco made the organization of this tournament possible, it was originally planned for 2020. However, like many other plans, it had to be postponed due to unforeseen restrictions imposed by the global pandemic. So it was fantastic to see the dream finally come true in the summer of 2021.

Tralee Parnells Hurling and Camogie Club President Stephen Buttimer of Fexco presents the perennially winning school trophy to Gráinne Leahy wearing the Mounthawk uniform. Also pictured are tournament organizer Carmel O’Shea Maloney, Tralee Parnells Camogie President Suzanne Chute, players Ella Breen, Eugenie Kerins and Katie Dwyer.

Congratulations to our players who have won numerous awards. Róise O’Donnell, was voted by the players as the winner of the Player of the Tournament award. In the voting, members of all teams gave examples of the qualities and attributes Róise displayed throughout the Tralee Parnells Camogie Secondary Schools Summer League Weeks. It was clear from these quotes that his colleagues had selected a very worthy winner.

Saoirse Maloney won the tournament’s most skilled player award. Saoirse got the highest skill ratings during the matches. In a highly competitive category, marks were awarded for a range of skills demonstrated during play, including hooking, blocking, defensive play and strong supporting play. The referees were very impressed with the number of players who scored well in the different skill categories, across all league games.

Katie Dwyer won the tournament’s perpetual top scorer trophy. Katie’s precision shooting was a key ingredient in Mounthawk’s performances that helped them lift the overall tournament trophy.

This annual tournament for the development of Camogie in the Tralee area was conceived by Camogie’s Senior Manager, Carmel O’Shea Maloney. Huge thanks to Carmel for organizing this very successful inaugural league. It was a hugely useful competition which proved to be a great opportunity for all of our players to get some match practice at the top of the county leagues where our junior and minor teams play against other Kerry clubs. We saw the very first very deserving winners of the team and individual trophies.

All that silverware will be up for grabs again in the summer of 2022 when we continue this annual contest. The players all seemed to really enjoy having so many league matches over the weeks of June and July and it was a joy to see the displays and the levels of skill and teamwork improve in the group as they went on. as the tournament progresses. It’s great to be able to look forward to enjoying this competition every summer in Tralee, as new cohorts of girls progress through the age groups, to swell Camogie by playing the top ranks of local secondary schools.

Thanks to Tommy Guerin for refereeing all league games. A special thank you to Fexco for sponsoring all the perpetual trophies that helped launch this fantastic tournament.

Good luck

We wish our club players Na Gaeil and Austin Stack the best of luck in the upcoming Munster Intermediate and Senior Football Finals this weekend.
