Green Isle Camogie club (the reigning Tara 7 Junior Champions) is the ONLY south London based camogie team.We’re a very friendly, sociable bunch who all happen to enjoy a spot of camogie. We are always looking for new players. Anyone from absolute beginners up to experienced players are very welcome.
If you are not familiar with camogie here’s a quick out line. Camogie is a Irish stick-and-ball team sport played by women. It is almost identical to the game of hurling played by men. The basic object of the game is score more points or goals than the opposing team. There are H shaped goal posts at each end of the field (similar to rugby but with a net under the crossbar). A point is scored by sending the sliotar (ball, pronounced “slitter”) between the oppositions goal posts above the cross bar. If the ball goes below the crossbar, a goal, worth three points, is scored.
We always ready to welcome new players. What better time to start getting fit for summer, have fun, win a few games and make some friends.
