Best of luck to our Minor A ladies football team who take on Kilmacud Crokes in the Div 1 Shield at 3pm on Sat 12th in Meadowvale, and the B team who meet ManOWar in the Div 8 Cup Final at 3pm on Sat 12th in Oberstown. All support welcome!
Congratulations to the Minor A camogie team who beat Kilmacud Crokes by a single point in a thrilling semi-final match to reach the Dublin Division 1 Championship Final taking place on Sunday 20th October.
Minor & U16 girls enjoyed a forum with Dublin players Nicole Owens & our own Jess Tobin and former athlete and sports injuries specialist Fiona Opperman on resilience in sport. Thanks to the coaches and mentors for organising and Shéana Lewis & Aobha Cooney for chairing. Thanks also to Barnhill Stores for sponsoring a lovely lunch after the event.
Cuala members who participated in the Dermot Earley Youth Leadership Initiative 2023/2024 were recognised by Jarlath Burns in Croke Park this week. Next stop is the University of Galway in November for the 2024 graduates of the programme. Congratulations to all!
To celebrate 120 years, The Camogie Association’s Humans of Camogie campaign asked clubs all over the country to tell them about the people contributing to camogie at their clubs. Our first nominee to be featured is Colmán Ó Drisceoil, who shared his story of his long involvement with, and love for, camogie at Cuala.

A iníonacha Róisín agus Aoife a tharraing isteach sa Chamógaíocht. ‘Téarma saoil’ lán le scrunchies, chats, handstands, cóisirí, seacláid the. Ó Acadamh Cuala go Rannóg na nÓg go Lánfhásta – níochán bibeanna, crochadh eangach, ceangal iallacha, bailiú cón, lorg sliotar, bailiú seodra. Cótaí, brístí agus buataisí ag sú báistí. Díospóireachtaí bríomhaire le réiteoirí, bainisteoirí, tuismitheoirí. Ró-the, ró-fhuar, ró-fhliuch, ró-chrua, ró-fhada, ró-luath, ró-dhéanach, ró-dhorcha le himirt. Cé a thug na geansaithe, na liostaí, an gharchabhair, €20 don réiteoir, na heochracha? Ach caillte gan é.

A huge congrats to our Minor Camogie team who won the Division 1 League Final v Naomh Olaf’s last Sunday in Meadowvale. This was a monumentous occasion for the Minor Women’s section, being the first time that they have clinched this title, beating last year’s winners and runners-up along the way. It was a hard-fought match against Naomh Olaf’s, with Cuala coming out on top by a single point.
The sunny evening drew a huge crowd of supporters from both sides, with refreshments set up by our senior players. The 2015 girls also put on a fantastic display of skills vs their Naomh Olaf counterparts at half time.
Well done to everyone involved, including the players, coaches Colmán O’Drisceoil and Tom Butler, and the wider management team. A huge thank you also to all the Cuala supporters who came along.
