Schools Camogie:
The U13C City Schools Final took place on Monday in the glory of the sunny Gaelic Grounds
where an #MSPCamogie heavy St Nessans team took on Kildimo NS.
Who better to captain St Nessans than Liv Cantillon, who’s honor it was to be playing for the
second day in a row, having played in Sundays half time primary game during the Limerick v
Tipp showdown!
St Nessans were 2-0 down early doors, fought back to take the lead and pushed on positively –
then had to dog it out in last 2 minutes after a late Kildimo goal put things back in the mixer….!!
And that’s why camogie is the greatest sport in the world, because it’s anyone’s game until that
whistle blows!
Well done to the victors St. Nessans National School, parents/family/friends in attendance and
the teachers who take the time to coach the players – and hard luck to Kildimo NS
St Nessans 3-5 Kildimo NS 4-0.

Community Games Camogie:
Well done to all the #MSPCamogie players taking part in the Regional Community Games this
year! The girls put in two incredibly competitive and hard-fought performances on the pitch recently:
Game 1: A narrow loss after a superb effort against a strong Dromcollogher/Broadford team.
Game 2: A brilliant response, producing an excellent win over Ballingarry/Granagh.
While the results show one win and one loss, the real achievement was the outstanding team
spirit and pride displayed throughout. Every player gave it their all from start to finish. The
future looks very bright for this talented group!

Mungret St. Pauls 1-16 Feenagh Kilmeedy 2-21
Mungret St. Pauls travelled to Feenagh on a very hot Tuesday evening, 26 May 2026 for their
latest Intermediate Hurling League fixture, where they faced a strong Feenagh Kilmeedy side in
an entertaining and hard-fought contest. The home side settled quickest and opened with two early points before Mungret St. Pauls got on the scoreboard through a well-struck free.

By the end of the first quarter, by the water break, Mungret St. Pauls had reduced the deficit to a single point at 0-4 to 0-5.
However, Feenagh Kilmeedy enjoyed a productive spell approaching half-time. A series of
points was followed by a goal, helping them establish a significant advantage. Mungret St. Pauls
continued to battle and added further points from play and placed balls, but the hosts
maintained their momentum and carried a seven-point lead into the break.

The second half could hardly have started in a more difficult fashion for Mungret St. Pauls as

points. Despite the setback, Mungret St. Pauls responded admirably and produced some of
their best hurling of the evening.
A succession of points from play saw Mungret St. Pauls chip away at the deficit. The visitors
found a good rhythm in attack and continued to create scoring opportunities through
determined work all over the field. Scores in quick succession midway through the half reduced
the gap and kept Mungret St. Pauls firmly in the contest.
The turning point came just after the second water break in the second half when Mungret St.
Pauls finished a fine attacking move to the net, cutting the deficit to seven points and giving the
side renewed belief. Further scores followed as Mungret St. Pauls continued to press forward
and refuse to let the game slip away.
Despite Mungret St. Pauls efforts, Feenagh Kilmeedy always seemed to have an answer and
responded with important points whenever Mungret St. Pauls threatened to build momentum.
Their accuracy in front of goal and ability to take key scores at crucial moments proved decisive.
Mungret St. Pauls continued to work tirelessly until the final whistle, adding late points from a
free and play, but the home side closed out the game to secure victory on a scoreline of 2-21 to
1-16. While disappointed with the result, Mungret St. Pauls can take positives from their
determination and second-half response. The players showed great character to keep battling throughout and will look to build on that performance in the last remaining league fixture.

evening, 28 May 2026 in Mungret, producing a determined and spirited display against Galtee
Gaels in a closely contested Round 1 encounter.
The home side started brightly and matched their opponents throughout a competitive first
half. Mungret St. Pauls worked hard in defence while showing plenty of attacking intent
whenever opportunities arose. A crucial goal helped keep the scoreboard ticking over and,

which ultimately proved decisive. While Mungret St. Pauls edged the scoring in points, the
visitors’ goals gave them a narrow advantage heading into the closing stages.

forward until the final whistle. Their commitment, work rate, and determination were evident
throughout an entertaining championship encounter.

the half, Mungret St. Pauls headed to the break with a commanding advantage.
At half-time, Mungret St. Pauls led 4-4 to 1-2.
Any hopes of a Galbally comeback were quickly extinguished after the restart as Mungret St.

the second half were followed by a point before another goal moments later capped a
devastating period that effectively secured the title.
Mungret St. Pauls continued to move the ball with confidence and precision, adding further
points from play and a well-taken free. Galbally battled bravely throughout and struck for two
second-half goals as they continued to work hard until the final whistle, but Mungret St. Pauls
always maintained control of proceedings.

work, with every player contributing to a superb team performance. Strong defending, tireless
work rate, and clinical finishing in front of goal were key factors in a deserved victory.

blow as a well-worked attack resulted in a goal, giving Mungret St. Pauls an early 1-1 to 0-0
advantage.
The Mungret St. Pauls defence worked tirelessly throughout the opening half, frustrating

St. Pauls held a slender lead at the interval.
At half-time, Mungret St. Pauls led by the narrowest of margins, 1-1 to 0-3.
The second half remained fiercely competitive. Mungret St. Pauls extended their lead early on

from placed balls proved crucial. A series of points from frees, combined with scores from play,
saw them edge in front midway through the half.
Despite falling behind, Mungret St. Pauls continued to battle hard and showed tremendous
character. A well-taken point with five minutes remaining reduced the deficit and kept hopes
alive, but Monaleen responded with another free to maintain their advantage.
