Hazelwood College triumph in the Cork Colleges Camogie Blitz
On Wed Oct 5th, 1st year students of Hazelwood College travelled to Coachford for the Cork Colleges Camogie B Blitz. With Ballincollig, Coachford, Clonakilty, and Middleton all in the race for success, it was evident from the outset that all School teams were excited to get in a day of enjoying the sport, and working to improve their level of play. The spirit of competition was high and it was hard to guess who would make the final. The girls battled hard in the cold and wet conditions giving excellent performances throughout. With Rebecca McGuinness making some superb saves in the goals, Niamh O Brien, Emily Mulcahy, Rachel O Brien and Eyna O Donnell didn’t give the opposing teams much scoring chances. Ellanna Mulcahy dominated the game from the back line. She was on her game, consistently clearing the sliothar out from her centre back position. With Superb athletic performances from Chloe O Brien, Rachel O Brien, Abigail Aherne and Tracy Lynch and scores throughout the blitz from Jenny Prunty, Triona O Callaghan and Georgina O Sullivan we eventually found our way to the final against St Marys of Middleton. Our keys players really came to the fore for this highly competitive final, Emma O Callaghan was absolutely lethal from Centre Forward, putting it over the bar whenever given half an opportunity and Laura Stack proved to be one of the most skilled players in the blitz scoring three goals to seal our success. They showed some excellent team performances on the day and showed signs of good days to come for this Hazelwood team.
