LAOIS Camogie has launched a county-wide fundraising campaign to support its Intermediate team as preparations intensify for next month’s All-Ireland Championship final in Croke Park.<\/p>\n
The O’Moore County will face Antrim on Sunday 9 August as they look to complete another remarkable chapter in what has been a memorable period for the county’s camogie fortunes.<\/p>\n
Having secured a place in a third successive All-Ireland final, the panel is appealing to businesses, supporters and the wider Laois community to get behind their bid for national glory.<\/p>\n
The fundraising drive comes on the back of an extraordinary season for the team. Just 12 months after lifting the Premier Junior All-Ireland title and earning promotion, Laois have reached the Intermediate decider in their first campaign back at the grade.<\/p>\n
In a statement accompanying the appeal, Laois Camogie praised the dedication and commitment shown by the players throughout the year.<\/p>\n
“Dreams really do come true,” the appeal stated.<\/p>\n
“Just one year after winning the Junior Premier All-Ireland title, our incredible Laois Intermediate panel has earned their place in the Intermediate All-Ireland Final in Croke Park on Sunday, August 9.<\/p>\n
“This is an extraordinary achievement and one that every player, coach, family and supporter should be immensely proud of.”<\/p>\n
The county board also highlighted the sacrifices made by players away from the field as they strive to compete at the highest level.<\/p>\n
“Behind every training session, every match and every victory are countless hours of commitment and sacrifice,” the statement continued.<\/p>\n
“These girls have given everything to represent Laois with pride, balancing work, college, family life and training, all for the love of the game.”<\/p>\n
While the team’s success has generated huge excitement across the county, reaching an All-Ireland final also brings significant costs. Funds raised through the campaign will help cover travel, preparation, equipment and match-day expenses as the squad gears up for its biggest test of the season.<\/p>\n
Local businesses are being encouraged to become sponsors, while supporters are being asked to contribute whatever they can to assist the team’s preparations.<\/p>\n
“If you own a business, this is a wonderful opportunity to support a team that represents the very best of our county,” the appeal said.<\/p>\n
“If you’re a supporter, your contribution, no matter how small, will help these girls focus on what matters most: giving everything they have on the biggest stage of all.”<\/p>\n
The appeal concludes with a call for the entire county to unite behind the team ahead of one of the most significant days in recent Laois camogie history.<\/p>\n
“Let’s come together as one county and show this incredible panel that they are not walking into Croke Park alone,” the statement added.<\/p>\n
“They have inspired us with their determination, resilience and heart. Now it’s our turn to stand behind them.<\/p>\n
“Together, let’s help make history.”<\/p>\n
