Wednesday, 13th March 2024: Today, Electric Ireland is thrilled to spotlight 15 exceptional players from this season’s Camogie Third Level Championships, as it unveils the 2024 Electric Ireland Camogie Third Level Rising Stars Team of the Year. Electric Ireland is delighted to continue its partnership with the Camogie Association for the second season, which sees Electric Ireland support the game across grassroots, Higher Education and Intercounty levels.
In a season filled with stand-out team and individual performances, University of Limerick were crowned Ashbourne Cup winners for the 11th time in their history, with an emphatic win over last year’s winners TU Dublin at the University of Galway Connacht GAA Air Dome. The Limerick university saw out their last performance of the season in confident fashion which was reflected in the final score-line of 6-11 to 1-12.
