The only all Ulster clashes of the day were Portglenone v Bredagh and Bailieborough v Edendork which gave these girls a great chance to play against girls that they might never play against again. As part of the day each club got a tour of the Croke Park Museum also. Each participant also received a Camán to Croker keyring from sponsor John Torpey Hurleys, Co. Clare and a souvenir programme listing all teams and individuals who participated on the day. Well done to all teams who took part and a special thank you to all the teams mentors for organising the trip for the girls. Looking forward to Camán to Croker 2014 already.
