And the winners are: 2022 Camán Caint Senior Team of the Year

The 2022 Camán Caint Senior Team of the Year, sponsored by Roche Injury Clinic, was announced at a special live event at Dicksboro GAA on Friday night.

In all, 31 players were nominated for the team of 15, representing clubs at senior level in the Kilkenny Camogie county championship. This year’s senior championship saw 2020 champions Thomastown take on defending champions Dicksboro, the city club ultimately surrendering their crown after a one year term at the top of senior camogie in the county.
