Camogie Feile 2012: All the Entrants to the U14 Camogie Feile Competition 2012 from Clubs throughout Donegal
The U14 Camogie Feile Was held on Thursday in cold and wet conditions. This did not deter the girls with three representives from each club. The competition was wide open with the long puck hampered by wind and rain. Despite this the eventual winner was Úna Quinn from Letterkenny Gaels the newest camogie club in the county. Chloe Kennedy of McCumahils taking a well deserved second place and Grainne Gallagher from St. Eunan's took third place.

This competition was part of the work carried out by the County Board and is helped by the fund raising activities carried out throughout the year. The recent bag-pack in Dunnes stores raised €1,228 which will provide much needed funds for county teams travelling for matches. Another bag packing day is planned for the 5th of May. If you are available for even 1 hour please contact your local club to help out.
