All things Camogie.

It's definitely a thing in the LGFA. Even the 'help' guides on Foireann tell clubs that they must pay it, and go on to tell them how to pay it:

For that €150, they end up with the choice of five adult tickets, or twenty children's tickets (i.e. U18s) plus two adult tickets.

In practice, what clubs generally do is take the children's tickets, buy as many more of them as are required (and obviously a few more adult tickets too), and organise a bus to Dublin to give the girls a day out.

The LGFA club in my own place is only a few years old but they've done this every year so far, and were inspired to do so mainly because many other clubs here in Wexford were already doing the same.

Wexford had a camogie league match on once after a hurling league match. Was a disaster for the camogie as 95% of the attendance left in the gap between the two matches and the camogie players didn't get to warm up properly because all the youngsters ran onto the pitch after the hurling match and took ages to get off again and then went home once they did.

I felt sorry for the players as not only did they not get their warm up interrupted, it also must have been very disheartening for them to see most of the crowd leaving before their match had even started.

It was worth a try but it didn't work and I wouldn't be in any rush to try it again.

I'm talking about a Croke Park scenario where that wouldnt come into play.

Very enjoyable camogie final. Finbarrs be kicking themselves letting 6 pt lead slip. Looked the better team for 55 minutes Amazing how a goal can change the momentum of a game

Therese Donohoe is some warrior. Mid 40s I read somewhere. The rabbittes could do better.

It was a great finish to the match, but I think it should have had extra time. Both teams now have to face into training over Christmas. After a long season especially for any girls who played county they will have no break. Both physically and mentally that is very hard for them.

’

• Removal of substitutions upon the completion of 30 minutes of each half and the completion of 10 minutes of each half of extra-time.’

What does that even mean?

I presume it means no subs allowed in injury time but not sure. Is that to stop teams wasting time and breaking up the play by making pointess subs for last minute or so? Could do with a rule like that in other sports too!

Hahah the lack of jeopardy in Championship is a joke. Four teams in the Seeded Group 1 - Top 2 into Semi-Finals and Bottom 2 into Quarter-Finals. What a farce
