FOLLOWING on from their All-Ire- land Junior success last month, Clare camogie is on the cusp of moving up the senior ranks for 2009. At a met- ing of the Cumann Camdogaiochta na nGael in Croke Park on Monday there was support for a proposal from the Clare Camogie Executive to move up to senior.
After several meetings over the past number of weeks, including a forum with the players, the executive felt that it was in the best interests of the future of the game in the county that
Clare should enter two teams, one at senior and one at intermediate level in 2009.
Official sanction for the move would allow for an operating panel of up to 40 players, ensuring that more play- ers will get championship experience and further develop the standard of camogie in the county.
With a new management team due to be ratified by the December Coun- ty Board meeting, this move to em- brace senior competition is deemed to be a progressive step on the road to future development for the emerg- ing county.
