Celebrating 120 years of Camogie
24 November 2024
Last night, we celebrated 120 years of Camogie with @officialdowncamogie, as players, past and present, gathered for a special gala event in Belfast. Representing Aghaderg were coaches and former club and county players Ciara McGovern and Claire Convery, along with Deirdre and Francie McGrath.
Deirdre and Francie have played pivotal roles in the development of Down Camogie. Deirdre founded the first-ever camogie team in Aghaderg in 1984 and has continued to make significant contributions to both the county and Ulster Camogie. She chaired Down Camogie for many years and remains a vital figure in Ulster Camogie today. Francie, too, has managed both club and county camogie teams throughout the years, supporting the growth of the sport at every level.
We hope you all had a wonderful night!
