Waterford players named on Minor Championship Team of the Year

In a season filled with stand-out performances, Cork retained their All-Ireland Minor Camogie title, making it four victories in the last six years. They overcame a tough Waterford side who had beaten them at an earlier stage in the season.

In this year’s Electric Ireland Camogie Minor Star Team of the Year, Cork is well represented with six players included, while beaten finalists Waterford have four representatives on the team. Beaten semi-finalists, Galway and Tipperary have three and one player respectively, while one player from the Kilkenny panel also features.

This year’s Electric Ireland Minor Star Camogie Player of the Year is Cork’s Emily O’Donoghue. Named Electric Ireland Player of the Match in the All-Ireland final as she scored 1-5 against Waterford, the importance of O’Donoghue – sister of Caoimhe, also named in the team – in Cork’s title victory cannot be overstated. Goals win games and she netted in each of their last three matches.
