I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who sent me good wishes on my recent Camogie Volunteer of the year award. Thank you to my family, relatives (at home and abroad especially in New York), club members, neighbours, work colleagues and friends. To Millstreet Camogie Committee, who nominated me for the award. To the Cork Camogie Association who selected me for the award. To all of you who sent me congratulations cards, text messages, beautiful floral bouquets and tweets. To photographers, Geraldine, Seanie, John Tarrant and Clara O’ Keeffe who recorded the wonderful memories for posterity. Finally I would like to offer my sincere gratitude to the “Magnificent Seven” who travelled with me to Croke Park to celebrate the National Awards. To Bridget, Eileen, Marie, Hannah, Sheila, Deirdre and Lilly – a huge thank you. – from Joan Casey
