THE TEAMS FACING each other in today’s All-Ireland club camogie final might not have met in competition before, but some of the players have crossed paths before.
“Two of them stayed in Hopper McGrath’s house so there’s been some slagging, and asking, ‘Well, what do they eat for breakfast?’” says Truagh Clonlara PRO Caroline Moloney, referring to current Sarsfields manager Michael McGrath who has four daughters on the team.

“The girls were wrecked, the supporters were wrecked. But it didn’t stop them from celebrating. We had a homecoming in the village where they walked the cup over the canal into our village. They spent a good hour in the village dancing with them and having dance offs.” But that’s where the separation ends. The hurling and camogie sections are knitted together in Clonlara, especially now as they make a final charge for All-Ireland glory. There are nine sets of sisters, and four groups of cousins comprising the camogie team and plenty of their fathers offer their assistance in the background.
“We’re seeing young boys going around in the Truagh colours. That shows how much of an impact this has had.”
