THERE ARE a number of vacancies on the executive of Clare camogie as the organisation heads into 2025.

Hotel Woodstock hosted the annual convention on Monday night when the positions of vice-chairman, secretary, assistant treasurer and delegates to Munster weren’t filled.

Having completed her five year term in the role secretary Ann Sanz stepped down and there were no nominees to take over.

Assistant secretary Caroline McAuley-Rynne is to continue in the assistant’s role for now before taking up her new position as vice chairperson of Munster camogie.

Assistant treasurer Martin Kaiser was another who did not seek-re-election and that position has yet to be filled.

The outgoing Munster representatives Ann Sanz and Marie Louise Kaiser also stepped down and there were no nominees to take up the roles.
