Announcing the 2023 Electric Ireland Camogie Third Level Championships Team of The Year

2023 Electric Ireland Camogie Third Level Championships Team of The Year


Thursday 9th March 2023:  Today, Electric Ireland is delighted to spotlight 15 exceptional players from this season’s Camogie Third Level Championships, as it unveils the 2023 Electric Ireland Camogie Third Level Rising Stars 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 Intercounty levels.

In a season filled with stand-out team and individual performances, TU Dublin were crowned Ashbourne Cup winners for the first time ever, overcoming a dominant UCC side at Dave Billings Park, Belfield.  

In this year’s Electric Ireland Camogie Third Level Rising Stars 2023 Team of the Year, Ashbourne Cup Champions, TU Dublin, are well represented with five players included while beaten finalists UCC have four representatives on the team. Beaten semi-finalists, DCU DÉ and SETU Waterford each have two players represented while two players from UL also feature.

This year’s Electric Ireland Camogie Third Level Rising Star Player of the Year is TU Dublin’s Megan Dowdall. Megan’s ball winning ability and eye for the posts made her almost unstoppable during TU Dublin’s Ashbourne Cup campaign.
