Lough Lene Gaels Camogie Notes
July 26, 2026David Smyth Catering Senior Camogie Championship
Lough Lene Gaels Camogie opened its campaign in the David Smyth Catering Senior Camogie Championship by playing a Round 1 match, Lough Lene Gaels v Drumraney at Drumraney on Sunday July 26th.
Unlike the previous meeting of clubs in a 2026 Senior Camogie league Division 1 match, played at Collinstown on Sunday June 28th and won by Lough Lene Gaels on a 3.15 to 0.05 scoreline, last Sunday’s encounter was an extremely competitive encounter. Lough Lene Gaels were on the defensive in the early phase of play, Lough Lene Gaels 0.03 Drumraney 2.03 the match scoreline at the midway point of the first half. Lough Lene Gaels trailed by a margin of four points at half time, Lough Lene Gaels 1.05 Drumraney 3.03 then the match scoreline.
Certainly Lough Lene Gaels, players and team management had an exercise of soul searching to carry out at half time. Lough Lene Gaels took the match to Drumraney in the third quarter of play, Lough Lene Gaels 3.06 Drumraney 3.03 the match scoreline at the midway point of the second half. Lough Lene Gaels went on to win this match by a margin of four points, Lough Lene Gaels 3.10 Drumraney 3.06 the match result.
Lough Lene Gaels though, despite the result, must reflect on certain aspects of the trend of play of this round 1 fixture. One aspect in particular was Lough Lene Gaels not turning many scoring opportunities into actual scores. Lough Lene Gaels is now scheduled to play Castletown Geoghegan in a Round 2 match of the David Smyth catering Senior Camogie Championship.
