Camogie Players Fundraiser Following on their success on the playing fields in 2014 the Cork Camogie Team and their back room team and officials are hoping to take a well deserved and hard earned holiday. The Cork squad and management have put in a huge effort in a voluntary capacity over the past twelve months to ensure they were successful in their All-Ireland winning campaign It been 2009 since the O Duffy Cup last rested Leeside and several of the side have sacrificed a lot including family holidays, event and functions as they worked towards achieving their dream and brining the title home again. 2014 finally saw the dream become a reality when the Cork girls won what will go down as one of their greatest ever title successes when they turned around a half time deficit to run out comprehensive winners as they over powered Kilkenny with a superb second half display. Who will forget the sheer excitement that greeted the final whistle? Or the feeling of euphoria as Anna Geary sprinted up the steps of the Hogan Stand to finally get her hands on the O’ Duffy Cup. The result capped off a brilliant year that saw the cork girls defeat 2013 champions Galway and 2012 champions Wexford and all time role of honour leaders Dublin on route to the final. They were also crowned Munster Champions defeating Limerick earlier in the season. Cork is renowned for supporting our sporting heroes but very often our sporting heroines are lost in the crown and to this end the call is going out to everybody to GET BEHIND THIS TEAM AND SHOW THEM CORK IS PROUD. In order to raise funds towards their trip they are holding a Benefit Night At Dogs on Friday Feb 13TH and while it may seem a long way away a lot of work must be done and quickly. Eight races in total must be sponsored and the call is going out to business people to Show Your Support. Sponsorship of a race will ensure a business will be associated with one of the races on the night and the name will be announced to the crowd at the beginning of the associated sponsored race. A full page advertisement will also be included on the programme for this. A full page advertisement on the race programme can be included for €100 and again businesses and clubs are urged to get on board with this. When all the races are sponsored thoughts will turn to getting each dog sponsored and here is where anybody who wants to go along and support their sponsored dog comes into play. €50 will secure sponsorship of a dog and with just eight races and six dogs in each these are sure to be snapped up quickly. The big call is now going put for businesses to get behind the girls and step up to the mark and sponsor a race, so dont be shy get in touch with the organising committee at info@corkcamogieplayersfundraiser Come on everybody and show your support to this superb group of ladies and get behind their “Night At the Dogs”.
