Announcing the 2023 Electric Ireland Camogie Minor Championships Team of the Year

2023 Electric Ireland Camogie Minor Championships Team of the Year


Tuesday, 6th June 2023:  Today, Electric Ireland is delighted to spotlight 15 exceptional players from this season’s Camogie Minor Championships, as it unveils the 2023 Electric Ireland Camogie Minor Star Team of the Year. Earlier this year, Electric Ireland announced their new partnership with the Camogie Association, which sees Electric Ireland support the game across grassroots, Higher Education and inter-county levels.

In a season filled with stand-out performances, Cork retained their All-Ireland Minor Camogie title, making it four victories in the last six years. They overcame a tough Waterford side who had beaten them at an earlier stage in the season.

In this year’s Electric Ireland Camogie Minor Star Team of the Year, Cork is well represented with six players included, while beaten finalists Waterford have four representatives on the team. Beaten semi-finalists, Galway and Tipperary have three and one player respectively, while one player from the Kilkenny panel also features.

This year’s Electric Ireland Minor Star Camogie Player of the Year is Cork’s Emily O’Donoghue. Named Electric Ireland Player of the Match in the All-Ireland final as she scored 1-5 against Waterford, the importance of O’Donoghue – sister of Caoimhe, also named in the team – in Cork’s title victory cannot be overstated. Goals win games and she netted in each of their last three matches.

Congratulations to each and every one of you. I look forward to watching the next chapter of their playing careers, and I am sure that many of these players will feature in our Electric Ireland Third Level Rising Stars teams in years to come.”
