Many thanks to all the players who brought along the Frank McGrath Cup on Monday and spent time with the young Cúl campers. Following on from this our very own All-Ireland winning minor captain Sam O’Farrell brought along the Munster Cup and The Irish Press Cup so the children were very busy getting photos with the cups and getting autographs. We were thoroughly blessed with the weather for the week, it helped to made the camp one of our best to date. Cúl Camp Olympics was the order of the day on Friday for the grand finale and what better way to conclude an amazing week but with 99s for all of the children and coaches.
