Hazelwood College Capture Cork A Camogie Title

Hazelwood College 1-4
St. Marys, Charleville 1-2

Last Wednesday in Ballincollig GAA pitch, the first year camogie team at Hazelwood Collge began Cork A County Champions. On their first camogie outing with the school it was an exciting day for all involved! Their opening game v Christ King was an exciting game, Hazelwood dominated for much of the time but failed to convert possession to scores. Then came a sea of scores. This win 5-1 to 0-0 was a great opening clash for Hazelwood. Next opponents we faced were Ballincollig and this was a very different game. Ballincollig were physical players and we had to up our game in order to get the better of them! The pace of the game was fast and furious and we had to utilise each opportunity and were lucky to gain a win. St Marys,Charleville we defeated in our third game 3-4 to 1-1. Our last game was v Kinsale Community School and this was imperative to win in order to guarantee our place in the county final!
In the final we face St Marys, Charleville this was the toughest game of the day. Charleville emerged a different team for this game. The game was extremely close with only the smallest margin separating the teams at half time. The second half was as nail biting and the sound of the final whistle gave rise to elation and huge celebrations on the Hazelwood team. All twenty two girls on the panel played their part throughout the day. Well done to all involved.
