Enjoy playing and take on board any piece of advice you are given
18. Do you find being a senior camog and a teacher in the local primary school is of benefit to the underage stars coming through?
Absolutely, I take the P6’s and P7’s for camogie and you might get one or two to the club that never played before. As I coach the wee ones they sometimes get mixed up with the name – Kitty or Miss Fegan so I get Miss Kitty! (I suppose you could get called worse)
Thanks Kitty!
