Camogie success for Tower’s U16s and U13s

IT WAS a great day for Round Towers camogie section on Sunday with their U16 teams winning the championship title while their U13s secured the U13 shield crown.

In the U16 Championship final which was played in Abbotstown, Tower’s had to dig deep to see off the challenge of Na Fianna 4-5 to 1-4 in a well-contested encounter.

The Clondalkin side always had the edge in this encounter with Kitty Quinlan netting three goals to set them on their way.
