We have one live Game on KCLR this weekend with James Stephens going to Limerick to take on Castlegar in an All-Ireland Semi-Final
Emma Gaffney who was player of the match in the county final and named to the Caman Caint team of the year, was a recent guest on the Caman Caint podcast, but she has been a recent enough addition to the Village.
Emma is from Galway and a former intercounty minor for the Tribeswomen. She said her clubmates have been nothing but welcoming since she joined this year;
“In terms of slotting in, I wouldn’t say that is anything to do with me. It is more to do with the girls, my teammates, and management. they have been more than welcome since the very beginning. it says more about them than it does about me.”
“I have had a fantastic year, definitely, it has been a long year, but we are in an All-Ireland semi-final now. It is absolutely fantastic to be here, so I have had a great year.”
Your club needs you 🇧🇾🇧🇾🇧🇾🇧🇾

It is going to be a cold day down in Limerick tomorrow but manager John Scott says despite the weather his team is up for the challenge;
“This time of the year, hurling goes out the window. It is who wants it more. It is more of a battle than an actual skill. It comes down to spirit and work rate, that is what gets us over the line.”
“I can guarantee this team has some spirit and work rate, they never, never give up.”
