It gives me great pleasure to welcome you all here to Duggan Park Ballinasloe for the
2021 Galway Camogie Intermediate Championship Final. Today is a special day for the
players, officials and supporters of these two teams. The very best of luck to all
involved. Good whistling to Enda Loughnane and his team of officials.
I would like to thank Duane's Hardware for their continued sponsorship of this
championship, and all other sponsors of the various juvenile and adult competitions. I
would especially like to thank Pat and Una McDonagh (Supermac's) for their continued
long-term sponsorship of Galway Camogie.
Thank you to all the media, Galway Bay FM, The Connacht Tribune, The Tuam Herald,
The Galway Advertiser and Sportz Daz for social media and publicity purposes
throughout the year. Thanks to our wonderful photographers for supplying us with
images .
To my fellow officers and various committees: a sincere thanks for all your hard work
and commitment throughout the year. It has been a hard and unusual year for
everyone in the county to date, but it is a fantastic achievement to be at the finals
stage of our adult championships.
I would like to congratulate the Galway Senior Camogie Team and management on
winning the All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship this year. The win gave the
county a lift it needed and it is fantastic achievement to win two Senior All Ireland
titles in the last three years.
A special thanks to Christy Browne and Duggan Park Pitch Committee for their
continued support and for having the pitch in great shape for today’s final.
I would like to thank all the clubs for their co-operation throughout the year and I wish
you all the best for the 2022 season. It has been a year to remember for Galway

Kinvara Camogie Club Kinvara Camogie Club has been a thriving club at the heart of our community since it was founded in 1989 and is 32 years old this year. In that time, the club has fielded teams from under 6 up to adult level. The club has won numerous juvenile championships and shield competitions over the last few years, which has seen Kinvara promoted to compete in the higher juvenile grade competitions, and We are proud to have had a number of players represent our club at County level. This year will be the third season at Intermediate level after losing the county final to Clarinbridge last year. Kinvara have the help of the St. Colmans club with their players having permission to play at Intermediate level with our club. We would like to wish our Intermediate Ladies and Management team the very best of luck today!!

Salthill/Knocknacarra Camogie Club Salthill/Knocknacarra Camogie came into being in 1979 when Eithne Conway McGee set up a small parish league for local girls to play in a competition. From those beginnings we have grown into a large city club with a strong underage structure. Today we have large numbers playing from nursery up to adult level. In 2020 we fielded two adult teams for the first time. Our players have represented the county at various levels, including at U16 and Minor in 2021. Salthill/Knocknacarra GAA club has adopted a “One Club-Four Codes” ethos reflecting the role and values of our club within the community. Over the years we have won Junior A County Championship (2020), Junior A League (1987, 2010 & 2019), Junior B County and Connacht Championships (2000 & 2017), Junior League 12 a-side (2011) and Minor B Championship (1998 & 2018), as well as many underage County Championships and City League titles. In 2021, our first time playing at Intermediate level in our club’s history, we won the County League and have reached the County Championship final

SoulesGalway Camogie History Project
A group in Galway Camogie has been formed with the intention of producing a book on the history
of the game in the county, at club, school, college and county level.
This history will encompass the development of the game, which took off locally very soon after
the Camogie Association was founded in 1904. There are numerous mentions of the game in the
Connacht Tribune and Tuam Herald newspapers from those very early years, with different
leagues and challenges being played, mostly in the town of Galway. It was much later before the
game migrated into the countryside with any lasting success.
There are fragmentary records of county championships being played in the 1920s and 1930s. In
fact, Galway appeared in the first inter-county All-Ireland final in 1932. It would be another 64 years
before the O'Duffy Cup would finally cross the Shannon for the first time, in one of the very last 11-
a-side finals, 1996, 25 years ago. This team was rightly celebrated at half-time in this year’s senior
final. Galway have added three more senior titles since then: 2013, 2019, and this year, gloriously
so! Truly great times for the game in the county.
Many other Galway teams have won All-Ireland titles since the first Junior title was annexed in
1972, almost 50 years ago. Multiple Ashbourne Cup victories have been secured by University
College Galway (NUIG) since its inception in 1915, along with second-level colleges titles by local
schools in the modern era. Galway are one of the most successful counties in terms of All-Ireland
club titles, as well as U-16 and Minor championship victories too.
There are over 35 active clubs in the county of Galway, along with a number of Mayo-based clubs
playing in Galway as they have no competitions of their own. Roscommon clubs in the past have
also competed in Galway adult and juvenile competitions. Each of these clubs have their own
history, which will also be captured in the proposed book if space and material permits. Four local
clubs have produced their own written histories in one form or another over the last 30 years:
Glenamaddy, Athenry, Davitts, and Mullagh.
If you have material that might be of use to this research effort, please contact
GalwayCamogieHistory@gmail.com or James Lundon at 085-1436727. Alternatively, contact the
group via the excellent new Galway Camogie web site located at www.GalwayCamogie.ie. Such
material may be as simple as photographs, programmes, minute books, medals, even just stories
or folklore associated with the game, championships, and clubs in the county. All material help
with the project is similarly solicited.
