Hot on the heels of their South West Antrim Indoor Camogie victory last month the Camogs of St Mary’s Primary School, Portglenone have retained the INTO South West Antrim Sevens Trophy they won last year. The competition, hosted by the Geraldine’s club in Portglenone, featured some skilful stickwork and included Creggan PS, St Patrick’s PS, Rasharkin, Mount St Michael’s PS, Randalstown, St Patrick’s PS/St Joseph’s PS, Ahoghill, St Joseph’s PS, Crumlin, St Comgalls PS, Antrim and the local St Mary’s PS girls. 

The competition was organised in two sections with the top two teams competing for the coveted South West Antrim title and a place in the All County Final. The St Mary’s “A” team managed to come through their group undefeated while St Patrick’s, Rasharkin were just pipped at the post by St Mary’s “B” team for a South West Antrim final place. The clash of the chums from St Mary’s PS Primary 7 class saw fierce but friendly rivalry and finished with the “A” team winning through by 3 goals to nil. They now travel to Casement Park in Belfast next month to defend the title they won during extra time last year. This competition is the first step on the road to playing at Croke Park during the half-time interval in the Senior All Ireland Football and Hurling series and follows the St Mary’s success of last year when two girls from the school featured in the Mini-Sevens series.
