FIVE schools from Tralee and beyond took part in a schools blitz yesterday at Mercy Mounthawk.

Aimed at 1st to 3rd year pupils, teams from Pres Tralee, Pres Castleisland, Causeway Comprehensive, St Joseph’s Ballybunion and Mercy Mounthawk took to the pitches under the guidance of Laura Collins, Kerry Camogie County Development Officer and teachers from the schools.

“We’ve gone into schools to teach camogie so we wanted to give them an opportunity to play games against each other,” said Laura.

“Pres Castleisland actually came with three teams here today. Most of them never held a Hurley in their hands before the start of the school year and now their playing games, so that’s brilliant to see,” she added.

Mercy Mounthawk beat Ballybunion in one final and Pres Tralee won another against Causeway on an enjoyable morning/afternoon for the girls. Scroll down for photos…
