Ballycran hosts an Ards Camogie blitz

No sooner had the County hurlers left McKenna Park this afternoon, after a successful game against Meath, when the young camogs ran across the same hallowed turf for another blitz on the Ards peninsula.  A balmy Sunday afternoon threatened to unleash the heavens at times but it kept its form and the girls managed to enjoy a fairly dry afternoon of fun.

Travelling a short hop to visit Ballycran from Portaferry and Ballygalget, we had teams ranging from P2/3 (U7), P4/5 (U9) and P6/7 (U11) with the primary objective to have fun, a few laughs and score some goals and points – probably in that order.

We don’t need scores or match reports on this occasion, just a few photos to share and record the day for everyone’s enjoyment. Unfortunately the U11 match was underway before we could capture team pics, but that’ll wait for another day.
