Hello all and welcome to this year Hurling and Camogie championship.!

After a very positive and fruitful discussion and planning session at Convention last Decemeber, the dates for the 2014 Hurling and Camogie championship can now be revealed, discussed and planned for.The dates are

April 26th
May 24th
June 28th
August 2nd


It is envisaged that on April 26th that a camogie workshop may take place in the morning with championship games taking place in the afternoon.If successful,it may be run at another round of the camogie championship.The workshop if run will take place in conjunction with Camogie Ireland and the European GAA Tutor network whereby a skills coaching course will take place that morning and in the afternoon,Camogie Ireland coaches will be the designated team managers for participating teams in ..This is an exciting development for Camogie within Europe and is hoped to be just the start of a series of coaching and games developments for the game itself in Europe.Details are still to be worked out and we'll keep you informed.

Also this year , we hope to incorporate a B or Junior league into the Hurling championship so developing or emerging teams can be introduced to competitive action at a suitable level....this is all dependent on participating teams and the willingness of you to get involved.,...

As per  that and the rest of the dates, it is hoped that a developing region may wish to host this year.This will hopefully increase the awareness of both codes within that region and kickstart its development for the future.

Some clubs have already expressed an interest to host but of course for any successful bids the minimum criteria applies ( 2/3 playing pitches minimum, adequate facilities,coverage of food and accomodation expenses for refereees.) Please ask me for any further information if you need it to clarify (as per hosting guidelines)


Please let me know as soon as possible of your intention to host or otherwise.We will need to discuss and I'm sure we can all come to an agreement as regards dates and locations which suit everybody


thanks and regards

Billy
