Three Limerick camogie teams in weekend action

LIMERICK have three teams in county action this weekend with the senior, junior and minor sides all taking part in their respective championships.

The senior team go in search of their first victory of the Very Camogie League when they make the trip to Down on Saturday in their rescheduled game from last week. The game has a 2pm throw-in at Liatroim Fontenoys. 

John Lillis' side have already lost to Wexford, Antrim and Waterford in this year's league and face an uphill task when they make their way up north.

It has been a big struggle for Lillis and his team in the league so far, but they will be hopeful of gaining a morale boost against a Down side who already have a win under their belt. 

Down have lost their other two games outside of the win against Offaly with Antrim and Wexford, both enjoying big victories.

Limerick also had an away game last time out, a 3-24 to 2-6 loss to table toppers Waterford.

2022 All-Star nominee, Caoimhe Costelloe, made her return from injury, scoring two points. The return of Na Piarsaigh's Laura O'Neill has been another positive for Lillis. However, Limerick have plenty to work on.

The junior side are out in Division 3B of the Very Camogie League when they make their way to Abbottstown for a fixture against Dublin at 1pm on Saturday.

David Deady's side have lost both games so far in the league against Antrim and Clare. They face a Dublin outfit that will go into the game full of confidence following a big win over Offaly in their game to date.

The minor camogie side travel to Wexford on Sunday in the Electric Ireland Minor 'A' Shield following on from their opening win last weekend over Offaly.

The Paul Neenan and Tony Dunne managed side earned a 3-14 to 0-4 win against Offaly and will be hopeful of a second win on the trot in Saint Patrick's Park, Enniscorty. That game has a 2pm start.
