As you were for Anton’s army

Meath…2-06 Derry…1-09 Aoife Minogue cut a dejected figure as the full time whistle sounded in this thrilling All Ireland Intermediate Camogie Final at Croke Park.

Aoife’s busy summer to roll on as Meath stun Rebels
Meath…3-11 Cork…1-11 It was difficult not to feel the camogie players of Antrim and Tipperary missed a trick by rowing back on stated protest plans prior to Saturday’s All Ireland SCC quarter final at Croke Park. As Ursula Jacob said on The Saturday Game Live That was the day to go all out. In the…

Meath make it a fruitless short trip for Cavan
Meath…0-11 Cavan…1-07 While the county’s lady footballers came up short in Ballinlough against Waterford yesterday, 24 hours earlier, Brendan Skehan’s county Camogie team had better luck over the road in Moylagh when they edged out Cavan in their National League Div. 2B encounter.
