Ruan GAA and Camogie Club held a very successful Summer Camp which saw 102 boys and girls enjoy a great week of hurling and camogie from Monday to Thursday of last week.
Run from 10am to 2pm daily, the camp saw children divided into groups from U6 to U13. The children were taught skills and took part in many hurling drills each morning while in the afternoons the boys and girls were involved in leagues. The camp concluded with each child being presented with a certificate of participation from Head Coach Seán Cullinan. The children were rewarded with an Ice Cream party on their final day and went home with treat bags.
Clare Senior hurler Paul Flanagan was a special guest while his Clare team mate and Ruan intermediate hurler Robin Mounsey was a coach at the camp. Local camogie player Rebecca Crowe and her Clare team mates who won the Munster Championship were special guests at the camp. Rebecca was joined by Kate O’Gorman, Niamh Mulqueen, Sinéad Hogg, Muireann Scanlon, Ciara Grogan and Caoimhe Carmody.
Head coach Cullinan was ably assisted by a coaching team of Paul Howard, Barry Heagney, Shane O’Loughlin , Robin Mounsey, Shane Punch, Alan McDonnell, Gerry Fox, Louise McDonnell, Lorna Crowe, Eve O’Connor, Rebecca O’Donoghue, Sinéad Hastings and Neasa Ní Leachtain.
