Announcing the 2024 Electric Ireland Camogie Third Level Championship Team of The Year

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 11^th 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 scoreline of 6-11 to 1-12.

In this year’s Electric Ireland Camogie Third Level Rising Stars 2024 Team of the Year, champions UL are well represented with eight players included, while beaten finalists TU Dublin have three representatives on the team. Beaten semi-finalists, DCU and UCC each have two players who feature.

This year’s Electric Ireland Camogie Third Level Rising Star Player of the Year is UL’s Casey Hennessy. Casey had a fantastic year proving a nightmare for defenders throughout the tournament and finished off her campaign in style with a goal in the Ashbourne Cup final to seal the victory for UL.
