Bill Mullaney has added two highly regarded coaching personnel in Denis Kelly and Angelo Walsh to his management team in what he describes as a bid to ‘get over the line in 2021’. 2020 saw a third semi-final appearance in a row for the Tipperary Senior camogie side but unfortunately they missed out in making the final. Mullaney is disappointed to loose Drom-Inch’s Eddie Costello from his management team. Eddie was a key strength & conditioning and hurling coach for the last three years but is unable to commit this year and has stepped away. Speaking to Bill he immediately highlights the ‘huge loss’ Eddie will be. On the positive though Bill has set about finalising his training panel for the year and has gotten a great response so far with stalwarts Mary Ryan and Cait Devane both available for the coming season. The final panel is set to be announced in the coming week. With covid still very much a part of our everyday lives and the level 5 lockdown looking to continue well into February it is very difficult to try and plan and get organised for the year ahead. At present nobody knows when a return to gaelic games will even be possible.
Tipperary Senior Camogie Manager Bill Mullaney
For now the Newport native is very much remaining positive and upbeat and looking forward to the challenge. He recently made the decision not to manage the intermediate team this year. For the last couple of years he has managed both sides which had a lot of pros but in his own words the Intermediate team deserve their own management team. ‘We have had an excellent Intermediate team for the last few years and they are a brilliant group to train but it was just very difficult to manage 60 plus players and give everyone the time that they needed and deserved. So the decision was made for Bill along with selectors Mary Howard, Carmel Bradshaw and Dinny Ferncombe to manage the senior team.
Former Toomevara hurler Denis Kelly who coached the Tipperary senior camogie team previously as part of Brian Boyles management team is very much looking forward to the challenge ahead. Bill was selector then and rates Denis very highly. Denis took a few training sessions last year and was delighted when Bill asked him in on a full time basis for the coming season as a hurling coach and selector alongside Holycross man Dinny Ferncombe. Denis brings a wealth of coaching experience having previously worked with his own native club Toomevara, Moyne Templetuohy and Offaly side Kinnitty. He joins Angelo Walsh in bringing a fresh face to the setup. Angelo a qualified Athletic Performance coach from Borrisoleigh has been on Bill’s radar for a number of years. ‘I have been trying to get Angelo on board for the last 2 or 3 years. He has a great reputation and is very highly regarded in Borrisoleigh. He played a huge role in the improvement in the Borrisoleigh hurlers as they captured the county final in 2019 and in reaching the All-Ireland.’ After their county final success Dan McCormack along with others whenever they were interviewed would constantly refer to the huge impact Angelo has made and credit him with alot of their success. Angelo along with the rest of the management team will no doubt be keen to get started and look to build on the progress made in the camp in recent years.
Maggie O’Grady will continue to work with the group on video analysis and stats. Kellie O’ Byrne has also committed for another year as the team physio while Kevin O’Connor will once again work as goalkeeping coach to complete an impressive setup.

From winning her first Senior County title at only 15 to being an inter county goalkeeper again after an absence of 8 years Rosie Kenneally’s Camogie career to date is full of memorable moments. Recognized as a talented goalkeeper from a young age she has stood between the posts on the biggest day in Croke Park and turned to Camogie to help get through the darkest days. Her friendly caring nature, great sense of humour, guitar skills and singing voice on a night out meant she made many friends along the way. In these strange times with no on field action to discuss I rang Rosie for a trip down memory lane from Drom-Inch to Naomh Mhearnóg and everything in between.
For any camogie team a good goalkeeper is vital – a gifted fearless keeper like Rosie however is the difference between winning and losing, silverware and heartbreak, bonefires and tears. In 2003 Drom-Inch camogie club were desperately trying to win their first senior county title in 21 years. To get to the final they had to de-throne current champions Cashel. In the final an experienced Toomevara team stood in their way led by one of the best forwards to ever play the game in Deirdre Hughes. “I definetely remember being nervous in 2003. I was a very quiet goalie back then, didn’t say too much and took my lead off the great defenders in front of me like Deirdre Delaney and Niamh Harkin” Drom-Inch needed a last minute goal from a 21m free to draw the game and take it to a replay. “I remember in the first game making a save from a Deirdre Hughes shot and thinking wow I just blocked a shot from one of the best forwards in the country” This gave me confidence going into the replay which we won.
“I can’t remember when I first played in goals for Drom-Inch. I remember playing with the club at u12 and playing outfield. I also played outfield with the u14 boys team” It was home in the backyard in Barnane where Rosie’s goalkeeping days began. “ I was the second youngest in a family of 6. We use to all go out hurling outside and our neighbours the O’Hallorans and the Scanlons would come over to play. Nobody wanted to play in goals so they used to just tell me to go in being one of the youngest. Then when you were in there it was a matter of block the ball or get hit in the face”. In 1999 Rosie was just turning 12 when Tipperary won the senior All-Ireland final. The goalkeeper at the time was Jovita Delaney. “Jovita was a brilliant player. She was high profile and one of the best goal keepers around. I remember Dad taking me to the homecoming in Cashel that year and thinking being a goalie was cool”
Fast forward 7 years later and Rosie is called into the Tipperary Senior Panel and is training alongside Jovita. “When Paddy McCormack the Tipperary manager brought me into the senior panel in 2006 I was delighted. I was the third choice goal keeper behind Jovita and Joanne Nolan and I gained huge experience training with them”. Tipp reached the All-Ireland final that year and Rosie couldn’t wait to be a part of it, but she had to overcome a few roadblocks along the way. “I was the intermediate goalie also at the time and we were playing Cork in a championship game when I got an excruciating pain in my side. I was practically doubled over with agony in the goals and had to get one of the defenders to puck the ball out for me. I was at home in bed that night when the pain got progressively worse and Dad had to rush me to hospital – my appendix had burst and needed to be removed immediately. All I was thinking though is I can’t miss the All-Ireland and I asked the surgeon can he hold off taking them out because I’m togging out in an All-Ireland final in a few weeks. Needless to say he didn’t listen”. Three weeks post-surgery Paddy McCormack had arranged for Davy Fitzgerald to be a guest coach for one of the final training sessions before the All-Ireland final. “There was no way I was missing Davy’s training so I togged out”. Davy was his trademark passionate self and training was high tempo and snappy. “ I remember at one stage he roared at me because I was lagging behind in a drill. Paddy had to quickly explain to him I was just after having my appendix out. There was no way I should have been training”, laughs Rosie thinking back to the time. Tipperary lost to Cork that year and haven’t reached a final since but Rosie has fond memories of the occasion and recalls “standing beside Dee Dunne belting out the national anthem together”.
In 2000 at only 13 she was picked on the county u16 panel as sub goalie. Tipp went on to win the Munster title. She had to wait another 10 years before picking up more silverware for Tipperary, a Munster senior title. By now Rosie had established herself as number 1 goalkeeper in the county. Outside of camogie life was hectic as a recently qualified Guard stationed in Dublin. This meant long commutes to training on top of shift work. A huge commitment for any player. But Rosie loved her camogie and the friendships and bonds formed with teammates.
Playing for Tipperary was a dream come through for Rosie and she donned the blue and gold jersey on many occasions. The very first time making a Tipperary team was as an outfield player on the primary game team. It was the first year of the primary game camogie team and a young Rosie was thrilled to be selected.
Rosie’s first time making a Tipperary team (front row, 2nd from the right)
In 2008 Drom-Inch manager John Harkin needed to build a new team with 9 of the team that had started in the 2003 county final no longer available. He put his faith in the young players who had come up through the underage ranks and against all the odds they got back to a county final against Toomevara. “I won 3 senior county finals with Drom-Inch and each one was so hard won and so special”. In 2003 Drom needed a replay to get over the line while in ’08 Drom led by 4 points at half time but failed to score in the second half against a strong wind. They managed to hold out for a single point win thanks to dogged defending and another superb performance by Rosie in the goals. “In 2008 we were complete underdogs in Tipperary but went on an unbelievable roll and got better and better with each game, beating Douglas to capture the first ever Munster title for the club”. Athenry were hot favourites in the All- Ireland semi-final. Beaten All-Ireland finalists in 2007 they were on a mission to get back to the final. Jessica Gill was their star forward, probably one of the best forwards in the country at the time. But despite her and Athenry’s best efforts they couldn’t raise a green flag and Drom held on for a 1 point victory. “Getting to the club All-Ireland final in 2008 was fantastic. I’ll never forget the build-up and excitement. Great support travelled to Ashourne that day to cheer us on”. Drom-Inch’s fairytale season came to disappointing end with defeat against Antrim and Ulster champions O’Donova Rossa. Jane Adams was the star of the show scoring 2-9 (2-4 from play) in a player of the match performace. “I didn’t know too much about Jane Adams before the game but I knew all about her by the end. At one stage I picked up a yellow card for a “strategic” tackle on her. She was literally unmarkable that day”.
Rosie Kenneally giving a player of the match display in the 2011 Senior Munster Final
Rosie’s third county final win came 3 years later but not before she along with her family suffered the ultimate loss. In August of 2011 a terrible road accident claimed the lives of Rosie’s parents Tommy and Angela. The Kenneally family along with neighbours, friends and the whole Drom-Inch community were heartbroken. Tommy and Angela were two of life’s beautiful people taken too soon in tragic circumstances. Angela had only recently retired at the time having taught junior and senior infants in Drom national school for 37 years while as Rosie recalls her Dad Tommy brought her and her sister Kristina (also a top class goalkeeper) to every training session and never missed a match. I asked Rosie how did she and Kristina find the strength to come back camogie training? “I remember we played championship 3 weeks after the funeral. I just threw myself into camogie. The club was a brilliant support to us and training and playing gave me a focus. Then we started winning and it gave everyone a lift. My brothers and sisters were coming to the matches and when we won it lifted everyones’ spirits for a while. Suddenly it wasn’t about trying to win a county final or a Munster final, I was just trying to keep winning to give my family and the community a lift”.
The 2011 trilogy of county finals was as dramatic as they come. Leading in the first game at half time against a serious Cashel outfit, the game was abandoned at due to the desperate weather conditions. The re-fixture was a draw and so a third game was needed before Drom eventually emerged victorious with a 2 point win. It was an emotional and jubilant time for Rosie and Kristina. Celebrations went on long into the night in the Ragg but before long attention turned to trying to win a second ever Munster title. Once again Douglas were the opposition. Drom ran out 5-8 to 2-13 winners with Rosie outstanding in the goals and deservedly collecting the player of the match award. It will forever be sad that her two proudest supporters weren’t there to witness it.
“That winter we trained hard and we were ready for Killimor in the All-Ireland semi and to everyones delight ran out 5 point winners 1-12 to 1-7. We were back in an All-Ireland final. This time in Croke Park against Wexford champions Oulart-the-Ballagh”. The final was a very disappointing end to what had been a great season for the Tipp club as they were totally outclassed by an Oulart team which included an array of All-Ireland winners with Wexford. Late in the game the Wexford side had built up a big lead and despite Rosie’s best efforts had already raised 3 green flags. “ I remember catching full-forward Ursula Jacob’s attention and saying to her shur ye might put the next one over the bar will ya”. Rosie laughs as she recalls moments later Ursula being through on goal and “tapping it over the bar”.
Dee Dunne and Rosie Kenneally despondent after losing the 2012 All-Ireland Club Final
In her long camogie career to date Rosie has played with and against some of the best players in the country. College took her to Waterford IT where she loved playing in Ashbourne Cup competitions. Despite never winning an Ashourne tournament, Rosie was twice named on the Ashourne All-Star teams, a testament to her brilliant talent. “It’s funny I would have loved to have just one Ashourne Cup medal but after finishing in WIT Kristina went there to do nursing and won 4 Ashourne Cups in a row in goals”. “In my WIT camogie days I use to just launch the puck out long down to Ursula Jacob and she’d be sure to get onto it and score. She was definitely one of the best players I ever played with but unfortunately I also had to come up against her with club and county”. At intercounty level two Cashel players come to mind when asked who were the best she ever played with “Probably Una O’ Dwyer and Philly Fogarty, they were both so skilful and tough.” While for club Rosie loved having players of the calibre of Niamh Harkin and Michelle Shortt at full back and centre back respectively making life easier for her in the goals.
In 2011 Rosie played her final game for the Tipperary Senior team. It was our last group game of the All-Ireland championship against Galway and Rosie was the sub goalie. They had built up a commanding lead and the result was gone beyond doubt when manager John Lillis turned to me and asked did I want to come on.”I replied half joking half serious ya in the forwards”. And so on she went and in true Rosie style always wanting to make a difference and create a special moment she scored a brilliant goal with a super first time strike off the ground. “It was my one and only goal for Tipp”. In 2012 Rosie joined back up with the Tipp senior panel again but decided after a few months to call it a day. “ I was after giving a few years travelling home for county training a couple of nights a week and it was really starting to take it’s toll. Leaving the city centre around 5 it was a 2 and a half hour commute back for training, we would train then for an hour and a half and then I had a two hour drive back up. It could be after midnight going to bed and often I had to be up again at 6.30am”. Rosie continued to play with Drom-Inch but as the years went on it was harder and harder to make training and matches. “Work were always very supportive of me playing camogie and there is a great tradition of GAA in the guards but I was just finding it increasingly difficult to make trainings and be available for matches”. Rosie’s last appearance for Drom-Inch was in the Intermediate county semi-final in 2017. Unable to give a full commitment that summer, she started on the bench. Half way through the second half Drom trailed by 10 points and Rosie was thrown into the forwards to try and work a miracle /and she almost did!! She managed 1-2 in 15 minutes and led a great comeback but the team was pipped at the post by a single point. It was a typical whole hearted performance by Rosie that she always gave in the green and red of her childhood club.
In 2018 injury put a stop to any chance of competitive sport but in early 2019 Rosie had itchy feet to get back to the camogie field. Now settled in Dublin she contacted one of the local clubs Naomh Mearnóg to ask could she come down for some training. It didn’t take them long to realise they had a serious talented goalkeeper on their hands and they quickly encouraged her to officially transfer. Injury free and no more long commutes Rosie embraced her new club and before long she was helping them to win. After one game late in the summer the referee Brendan Cooper (father of Dublin footballer Johnny Cooper) approached her after the game, enquiring who she was and where she was from. Brendan knew Dublin camogie would be keen to have Rosie on board and asked her would she mind if he passed on her contact to the incoming management team. “ I said ya no hassle and didn’t think much more of it”. However in November Dublin senior camogie joint manager John Treacy rang her and asked her would she be interested in coming in for trials. “I thought about it for awhile. I knew from my Tipp days that it was a huge commitment and your life is practically put on hold. I thought though I only have a year or two left playing camogie and said I’d give it a go and see how it goes.” So 9 years since she last played camogie at inter-county level Rosie was back on a county senior panel this time for the Dubs! “In 2019 I was just looking to go training with Naomh Mearnóg for a bit of fitness and get to know a few people and here I was a few months later going Dublin training”. The different shade of blue suited Rosie and she was really enjoying the training. “There is 3 goalkeepers on the panel and Catherine Kantounia is the goalkeeping coach. So we spend a lot of time in the training session doing goalkeeping work. The coaching is top class and Catherine picks out one or two bad habits or aspects of our play that we need to work on for the next day at training. So 17 years after winning her first senior county title and 14 years after her first call up onto a county senior panel “I am still learning loads and developing as a keeper and enjoying my camogie”. Rosie was given the number 1 jersey for Dublin’s 3 opening league games including a trip to Tipp where despite losing she was delighted to keep a clean sheet especially against lots of familiar faces.
In action for the Dublin Senior Camogie Team
The Dublin team trained on the Wednesday night as normal before the restrictions came into place the following day and Camogie like everything else was turned upside down overnight. As a guard Rosie is busy on the frontline. “Our shifts are longer now and things are different but everyone is just playing their part and doing their bit”. She misses the camogie and recently invested in a rebounder for the back garden which has been great to keep her eye in. “We have a strength and conditioning programme to follow and we have team meetings on Zoom and everyone is doing their best but nothing beats collective training so it is tough”. Like everyone Rosie is hoping to get back playing camogie in 2020 whether it is with club or county. “At the end of the day sport is sport and everyone’s health and well-being is more important”. For now she has great memories to look back on and can look forward to making more in the future.
As part of the 20×20 movement I pledge to promote more female athletes by writing articles on various Tipperary camogie players throughout their 2020 season. Who better to start with than fellow club woman and Tipperary joint captain Aoife McGrath. I chatted all things camogie and cousins with Aoife as she prepares for this weekend’s Littlewoods Ireland Division 1 game away to Galway.
Tipperary Senior Camogie Joint Captains for 2020 Aoife McGrath and Cait Devane
Two weeks ago 3 McGrath brothers Noel, John and Brian were all named to start for Liam Sheedy’s side against Waterford in the Allianz league. A fantastic achievement and one which didn’t go unnoticed in the media. However a week earlier 2 other McGrath siblings and first cousins of the boys were making their own bit of history. Eimear made her senior inter-county debut lining out at corner forward while sister and newly appointed joint captain Aoife played wing back in their win over Dublin in the Littlewoods Ireland Division 1 League. At only 18 Eimear is the “baby” of the family of 6 children so I put the question to Aoife (7 years her senior) if she ever thought she would play alongside Eimear in the blue and gold? “Growing up I would have always looked forward to someday playing with her with the club at least and I was thrilled to do that over the last 2 years but to finally get a chance to play with Eimear with Tipp was special”. Eimear impressed that day and gets the chance again this Sunday when Tipperary take on current All-Ireland champions Galway in a top of the group clash in which a league final spot faces the winners
The girls grew up in a sport mad family in the parish of Loughmore Castleiney. Where from a young age you played every sport and according to Aoife “as soon as you could walk you had a hurley in your hand or a football at your feet”. With no camogie club in Loughmore Aoife joined the neighbouring parish club Drom-Inch at 10 years of age while also playing with the boys team in Loughmore up until U14. Aoife’s father Frankie was one of 9 children who all loved to hurl and kick football and many of the family represented Tipperary at various levels growing up. But it is the current generation which includes Aoife, Eimear and their first cousins who have really surpassed all achievements. To begin with the McGrath sisters are joined on the Tipperary panel by their first cousin Miriam Campion, a skilful forward who played a key role in Drom-Inch’s success in winning the senior county title last year. The name Campion will ring a bell for any Tipperay hurling follower as John Campion, Miriam’s brother captained the Tipperary minor team in 2019 while another brother Pauric won an U21 All-Ireland medal in 2018 where he starred in defence alongside first cousin Brian McGrath. Brian, Noel and John all played their part in Tipperarys’ All-Ireland senior success last year and have a serious medal haul between them. Noel and Brian have minor, U21 and senior All-Ireland titles. While John is missing an U21 All-Ireland he does boast a coveted minor hurling and football All-Ireland medal along with his senior medals. And then there’s Liam McGrath a Tipperary senior footballer (who will be badly missed this year as he takes a year out to travel Australia), Liam will be forever remembered in Tipperary GAA history as the captain of the Tipperary minor football team who famously defeated a star-studded Dublin team to win the minor All-Ireland football final in 2011. While another first cousin Michelle Shortt has a senior All-Ireland camogie medal. I could go on further as numerous other first cousins on the McGrath side have represented Tipperary at underage and senior level in hurling, camogie and football. I put it to Aoife that all that is missing is a representative on the Tipperary Ladies Football team. She laughs and informs me that she was asked to join the panel a few times by Tipperary manager Shane Roynane. I shouldn’t be surprised as she not only captained her club to a Junior Football title in 2018 but also picked up club player of the year. “To be honest I would love to play football with Tipperary but personally I just think you can’t commit to both. It’s so difficult as both teams are competing at such a high level.”
I wonder what the secret is to the McGrath success and the old Irish saying “An ounce of breeding is worth a tonne of feeding comes to mind”. Aoife believes it’s a mixture of things. From a young age “we were just introduced to all sports and then we would be a very competitive and stubborn bunch!” I imagine there must have been some serious matches in the back gardens growing up. “ Ya there was 6 of us always hurling or playing football or soccer and then often on a Saturday morning after training John and Brian would come down to us or we would go over them for match of some sort”. Aoife has 1 All-Ireland minor camogie medal to her name, won in 2011 alongside current Tipperary teammates such as Ererna Fryday, Nicole Walsh and Julieanne Bourke but when she saw the cousins lifting the Liam McCarthy Cup again last year she was obviously delighted for them but also somewhat envious. Naturally she too would love to win her own senior All-Ireland medal someday. “When you’re a child growing up you want to play at the highest level and I suppose when you get there then you want to win at the highest level”. I put it to Aoife then does Galway winning last year and breaking the Cork and Kilkenny stronghold give her renewed hope. “I think it was definitely good that Galway won last year as up until then it was all Cork and Kilkenny. I think there are a number of teams including ourselves, Waterford and Dublin all pushing hard to narrow the gap to the top 3 but I suppose at present there still is a gap – but that gap is definitely closing”.
After a great 2019 where Aoife captained her club Drom-Inch to their first senior county title in 8 years 2020 has got off to a pretty impressive start with being named joint-captain along with Cait Devane of the Tipperary Senior team. Captaincy certainly seems to suit Aoife if you followed her club career as she led from the front picking up player of the match in the county final. “I was absolutely delighted to be named joint captain with Cait. It’s an honour to captain any team but to captain Tipp is something I would have dreamed about as a child”. What about the family, how did they react? “The parents were delighted for me, they might not really admit it bit I know they are proud.” An accountant by trade Aoife works with Deloitte in Limerick. A typical working day is up at 6.45am and on the road to Limerick by 7.30am. Usually she’s home by 6.30pm but as this is their busy time it is closer to 8pm at present. Training with Tipperary then involves an individual gym session on a Monday followed by training on Wednesdays and Fridays and then either a match or training on a Sunday. While it’s still early in the year it’s a hectic schedule already. The league this year has seen the introduction of some new rule changes which are on trial. So far Aoife really likes the allowing of “extra contact”. “It’s something I think most players really wanted and it allows the game to flow better and it’s less stop-start. I think not allowing the handpass goal is also a good rule change and it makes it easier for the backs to defend. However I am struggling a bit with not being allowed to drop the hurley to handpass as it’s something I would have often done – but I do think it is a good rule change too”
A versatile player Aoife is currently lining out at wing back for Tipperary but has played in many different positions which poses my next question what is her favourite position to play in? “I would have initially played midfield and then found myself shoved up to the forwards and then back to the backs where I think I’m better suited so I’m happy there”. Depending on how Tipperary or the opposition line out she can be sometimes found in a sweeping role but this would not be her preference. “I definitely prefer to mark a certain player on any given day. I prefer when its just 15 on 15 and everyone has a player to pick up. But you have to be able to adjust to different situations and the way other teams line out”. Speaking of other teams I wonder who the toughest opponent is that she ever had to mark? “There has been plenty of them and a number of Kilkenny forwards spring to mind but the toughest was probably Eimear McDonell of Burgess-Duharra”. Having won 2 senior county titles and one Munster title with Drom-Inch, represented Tipperay at all levels and won 3 Ashbourne Cups with UL Aoife has played alongside some of the most talented players around and she credits Waterford star Beth Carton as the best she has lined out with. Growing up her hero was Joanne Ryan, a current teammate on the Drom-Inch team, Joanne was the last Tipperary captain to lift the O’Duffy Cup in 2004. “She’ll probably kill me for saying this but Joanne would have been a player I looked up to when I was younger and I’ll always remember her captaining Tipperary to All-Ireland glory”. Back to the present and if there was an inter-county camogie transfer market who would you like to see Tipperary buy in? “Niamh Kilkenny of Galway. I think she has savage pace and workrate and still manages to pop up for a score from midfield in nearly every game”.
Finally we end our discussion on the topic of the 20×20 campaign – a movement to shift Ireland’s cultural perception of women’s sport by 2020 with a 20% increase in media coverage of women in sport, a 20% increase in female participation at all levels of sport and a 20% increase in attendance at women’s games and events. Aoife definitely feels the movement has helped camogie and the fact that the quarter-finals along with the semi-finals and finals are being televised now is great for the game. She has also noticed an increase in media coverage both nationally and locally. “It’s all going in the right direction but there is still lots more to be done.” I wonder what other changes she would like to see that will help to promote camogie, “I think it has to start with camogie players supporting camogie. More club players need to go to county games and to other club games. We are looking for more people to attend our games but I think players themselves need to start by going to more games first”.
