“I want to sincerely thank the entire Camogie family – our players, coaches, volunteers, match officials and our supporters – for making this year’s Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Finals such a special occasion,” said Brian Molloy, Uachtarán an Chumainn Camógaíochta.
“The high quality of Camogie on display in all three matches was a joy to witness and clearly struck a chord with the general public, as reflected in the fantastic attendances and television audiences.”
“The atmosphere in Croke Park was electric, and the match experience was truly unforgettable. I hope we can carry that passion and support forward, continuing to showcase the skill, dedication, and excitement that make our game so special.”
“Focus now turns to the club season. No matter where you are, there will be Camogie near you over the coming weeks and months. Let’s continue our support for our fantastic athletes and this great sport.”
