Last Sunday's All-Ireland Hurling Final between Kilkenny and Tipperary will be a day to remember for young camogie star Niamh Kennedy from the Castlebar Camogie Club. The Snugboro NS pupil got the opportunity to play at half-time in the INTO/Mini7s Exhibition game in front of thousands of people on the hallowed turf of Croke Park.

Earlier this year, Niamh played a starring role for her school side - Snugboro NS - as the claimed the Mayo Cuman na mBunscoil Mini7s camogie tournament and is also a regular with the Castlebar Mitchels Camogie Club. Niamh played her heart out in the blue and gold colours of Tipperary on the day - and cherished the experience immensely.

The Senior match was an epic encounter with Kilkenny and Tipperary drawing on a scoreline of 1-28 to 3-22 - in what was the highest scoring All Ireland Hurling final ever played.
