ULSTER CAMOGIE CHAMPIONSHIP FINALS 2009

SATURDAY 4th JULY

Ulster Camogie: Press Release – By. Niamh Archibald (Ulster Camogie PRO)



Ulster Camogie hosted the 2009 Provincial Championship Finals launch on Friday evening at the finals venue at Pairc Esler Newry.  Mayor of Newry and Mourne District Colman Burns was present to help launch the Ulster Finals.

Mayor Burns said: "Ulster Council should be commended for their dedication to making the Ulster Final a festival of camogie which could be enjoyed by all the family.

"The hard-work that has gone in by all those involved should be commended, this will be the best final Ulster Camogie has witnessed. The teams, players and officials are lucky to be taking part in such a momentous occasion.

Catherine O'Hara Chairperson of Ulster Camogie said: "The GAA has to be congratulated for giving us the opportunity to create what we hope will be the finest Ulster Final. They have worked tirelessly to ensure that we have a pitch and date which we can build around. Danny Murphy and Tom Daly have to be thanked for giving us this unique opportunity, we hope with their continued support and help to make the Ulster Final an annual event which will be placed in every GAA calendar.

"It's now up to us, as an association, in a Province with a unique history to get behind our own sport and be visibly seen supporting the game we are so proud to be part of. It's about respecting  ourselves first.

On behalf of the Council Iwould like to wish all the finalists and officials  the best of luck. Pairc Esler on 4th July is where we should all be.

Two fabulous finals and the buzz that goes hand in hand with finals day is one not to be missed."

Also present at the Launch was Ulster Secretary Danny Murphy . The Provincial GAA Director spoke of the need to support Camogie. Danny Murphy stated that the time has come for Camogie to receive the respect and recognition it deserved saying: "for some time now the Camogie Association has been saying that it should get more respect. I'm a big believer that respect is not given but earned and you only have to look at what Ulster Camogie is trying to achieve with this Final to know that they are worthy of our respect."

The Ulster Finals will take place on the 4th July, with Tyrone facing Monaghan in the Junior Final, whilst neighbours Derry and Antrim will battle it out for the Senior title.

Can't believe the last 3 minutes and then it could have went to either side once you's leveled. What was your No.4 thinking!!

Thought the two yellows on young Daly was harsh to be fair. Hanratty very sharp, that was his first game in a while for us and he looks determined to keep his place.

Is Hanratty struggling for his place?

Is Hanratty struggling for his place?

He hasn't been with the club much do to the county and didn't start the club championship match. The forwards player really well that day with and since, the left footed keith hill has been impressive and is scoring for fun as well. He'd have more strength as well. Hanratty was half injured and then didn't back in for a few league games.

Hill on holidays last and Hanratty took his chance. Competition is healthy as they say.

Making the county and not the club! hard to believe that.

The only thing Truagh are missing is their manager from last year!

It was actually the case a few years back that a player, Mark Daly, had no club and he was playing in the county. He'd been round a few clubs and ended up back at his original club, Drumhowan, but fell out with them again and didn't play for over a year. He was then drafted onto County panel and played in NFL final against Meath that day. He got injured and quit playing altogether.

Wow! that's a great memory!
He was a good footballer too if I am thinking of the same guy?
Played FF mostly?

[JMohan]

So ... where now for Monaghan?

Banty has done a great job.
I don't see him staying on and if McElkennon is going (the rumours are to Derry) as seems the case he'll struggle to find someone else to come in.

I think the Banty could stay on - IF he brought in a new backroom team but I doubt he could manage another term based on his personal life - it takes such a toll nowadays it's hard to do 5 years

Who would the front runners be in Monaghan?

Bernie Murray?
