The fixtures for the Minor Camogie Championship have been released and for the second year in a row Dublin will get their campaign underway against Cork on the weekend of the 17th/18th of February.
Cork won the corresponding fixture in last year Championship down in Mallow, but with home advantage for the 2018 tussle, the young Dubs will be looking to reverse that result and get their campaign off to a winning start.
Dublin will then head to the southeast coast to face Wexford on the 24th of February, it’s a home game against Kilkenny on the 17th of March and the girls in blue will travel West to lock horns with Galway in their final group game on the 31st of March.
The top two teams in groups A and B will then battle it out in the semi finals on the 14th of April and the Final is pencilled in to take place on the 28th of April.
Although the first round of Championship fixtures in both the Minor A and B Competitions is scheduled to begin on the weekend of the 17th/18th of February, it’s very much depending on the School’s Semi-Final fixtures.
