*U10s* Our U10 girls had a great day at last Sunday at a blitz in Crusheen. Congratulations to our superstars of the future. *U12s* As with all age groups - a huge number of girls at under 12 - training continues after the u12 county finals last week
*U14s* Congratulations to our ladies football U14 Red and White teams who kicked off their championship with a double header at a sunny Éire Og this evening.
In Div 2 our red team overcame a resilient Newmarket on Fergus, pulling away in the second half to record an 8-11 to 2-5 victory.
At the same time our white team had a big win over Cratloe to kick off their campaign on a score of 7-09 to 0-1.

Keep an eye on socials and Clare Camogie website. We wish the girls and management the very best of luck and ask for your support on the sidelines 🇧🇭
The U14 Academy has now come to an end for the 2026 season. The girls played their final game on Wednesday evening in Kilnamona against Inagh Kilnamona. The sides were level at half time, with both teams scoring 1-01. Inagh Kilnamona came back strongly in the second half, with the game finishing 2-03 to 1-01. As this is a development competition, the focus throughout has been on giving the girls the opportunity to develop their skills, gain match experience and, most importantly, enjoy their camogie. There has been plenty of progress and development from the girls throughout the season, and they can be very proud of their efforts.
A huge well done to all the girls and management for a fantastic season, and thank you to the parents and supporters who came along and supported the team throughout.
*U12s, U10s, U8s, U6s* Our younger girls across U12, U10, U8 and U6 have been busy training, developing their skills and enjoying their Go Games blitzes throughout the summer. The girls took a short break from midweek training this week to enjoy Cúl Camp, but they’ll be back in full swing tomorrow morning and ready to get back on the pitch!
