Truth is, the third-year PE student who is captaining Kerry to camogie history tomorrow, was a relatively recent convert to the small ball herself but is now a converted zealout. “My house would be a big football house alright, but I’ve turned them to camogie,” she grins. Tomorrow’s All-Ireland premier junior final against last year’s beaten finalists Dublin is the first time a Kerry camogie team has played in Croke Park. Clanmaurice were good enough to contest the All-Ireland junior club final last year which they lost to Kimessan (Meath) in a replay. But many of this club/county team have garnered huge experience and impressive reputations in the ultra-competitive world of third-level camogie.
