Castlepollard Community College is a rapidly growing institution and along with it our sporting endeavours have developed. This has been clearly illustrated in the popularity and growing success of our camogie team which has flourished under the guidance of Ms Brady and Ms. Kiernan and Ms. Coleman
Camogie has quickly become one of the most prominent sports in Castlepollard CC. This year the school fields teams that cater for each year group. This includes the Minor D Championship (U14), Junior D Championship (U16) and the Senior D Championship (U18).
With GAA being a huge part of the community, especially camogie, it has provided an excellent foundation of students hailing from local clubs such as Lough Lene Gaels and Castlepollard. The girls train once a week every Monday after school and each year there is a First Year Blitz which allows students to compete against a number of different schools across Westmeath.
Camogie promotes wellbeing and helps students develop important qualities such as teamwork, resilience, communication and leadership. The dedication and passion shown by our players has led to fantastic success for the school, most notably when our team were crowned Leinster Champions in 2023, a tremendous achievement for everyone involved.
The popularity of camogie within the school continues to grow from strength to strength and we look forward to many more successful years ahead.
