Inagh-Kilnamona midfielder and joint captain, Laura Rynne is buzzing at the thought of County final day and feels there won’t be anything between the teams with a rub of the green swinging it either way. “As a panel we are delighted to be back in a final. It’s definitely been a while coming and at times we did wonder would we get there again. We’ve lost the last three semi-finals and that hurts. Last year we lost in extra time and to be honest it was really tough then to see Truagh-Clonlara go on and win it. It did show us how close we were and gave us that extra motivation to work harder this year to try get back to this stage.” Her team seemed to get better as the year progressed with Laura referencing a couple of group game battles as being crucial to their development. “In our opening game we had a real tough battle with Feakle-Killanena …

2023 was really a year to remember for the people of Clonlara with the securing of Canon Hamilton and a first ever Senior Camogie title that was won in dramatic fashion making it a very short winter in East Clare.

They’ll still be favourites and that’s not me just talking up the opposition. You’d have to acknowledge that they’ll start as favourites simply because it’s been four years since we’ve been at this stage. “Truagh have played in the last three county finals, four if you include the 2021 replay so they’ll have a massive edge in terms of experience of the biggest day.” After hearing his thoughts for a few minutes I ask him in jest has his side any hope at all. The Clare Senior selector and coach laughs and says he’ll try come up with some sort of plan. “We’ve a lot of young players who will be playing in …
