MERCY Mounthawk Secondary School hosted its second annual Kerry Group’Schools Camogie Blitz on Thursday at Caherslee GAA grounds.

Organised by school staff Olivia Dineen, Stephanie Foley and Martina Lawless, seven secondary schools from around Kerry competed under glorious sunshine in what was a very competitive, yet fun day as local club team mates competed against one another with their respective schools.

Twelve teams competed at junior and four teams at senior level, including Mercy Mounthawk Secondary School, Presentation Secondary School Tralee, Gaelcholáiste Chiarraí, Presentation Secondary School CastleIsland, Castleisland Community College, St. Joseph’s Secondary School Ballybunion and Causeway Comprehensive School.
