History will be made in Croke Park this weekend as a camogie team from Camross will contest an All-Ireland final.
They are heading to GAA HQ to face Ballincollig of Cork in the Intermediate showpiece.
Excitement is building ahead of the big game and we took a trip to Camross to sample some of it.
We first headed to Camross NS where the more than 150 pupils were decked out in the Camross colours.
There are connections to the team everywhere with twin brothers Dylan and Fionn Guilfoyle of 6th class extremely proud of their sister Ava.
While Aimee Collier’s brother Aaron was present in 5th class and he is hoping his sister can bring him a third trophy.
Faye and Tommy Burke have plenty of relatives on the team while Billy O’Connor’s auntie Niamh Dollard will be hoping to keep another clean sheet in goals.
After going class by class, we headed outside where the children performed a very special rendition of ‘Jingle Bells’ but with a Camross twist.
You can check out a video of that below which is accompanied by the words.
After a quick cup of tea, we headed up to Killanure National School where the excitement was just as high.
Lochlan Keenan, brother of star forward Kirsten, has been with the team all year in his capacity of being in charge of the sliotars.
He will be on the team bus at the weekend while all of his schoolmates say they will be in Croke Park.
