111 boys and girls attended the annual Ruan GAA and Camogie Club summer camp.

From August 12th to 15th, the daily camp was held from 10am to 2pm with the children being divided into groups from Under 6 to Under 13.

The children were taught skills and took part in many hurling drills each morning while in the afternoons the boys and girls were involved in fun senior and junior leagues. The children were rewarded with a visit from an Ice Cream Van on their final day.

However the undoubted highlight was the visit of Clare senior hurler Robin Mounsey with the Liam MacCarthy Cup. Robin was very giving of his time and all the children got their photo with the Liam McCarthy Cup.

Alan McDonnell was head coach for the week and he was ably assisted by a coaching team of Rebecca O’Donoghue, Louise McDonnell, Lorna Crowe, Aoife Anderson, Sinéad Hastings, Síofra Ní Leachtain, Cliona Jones, Paul Howard, Shane O’Loughlin, Gerry Fox, Piaras Ó Sé, Frankie Lyons and Diarmuid Hastings.
