Galway Camogie warmly welcomes the establishment of the Kate Moran Cup, a fitting tribute made possible by The Camogie Association. This cup has been established to honour the lasting legacy of Kate Moran.

Kate, a proud Monivea native and committed member of Athenry camogie club, is remembered across the county for her exceptional contribution to camogie. Her skill, determination, and love of the game were evident throughout her playing career, and she wore both club and county colours with immense pride. Among her many achievements, she played a key role in Galway’s success at underage level, contributing to not one but two U16 All-Ireland victories that reflected her talent and dedication.

Kate’s untimely passing in 2022, while representing her club on the field of play, was a moment of profound loss for all involved in camogie. Her absence continues to be deeply felt by teammates, coaches, and the wider community.

The establishment of the Kate Moran Cup ensures that her influence on the game will continue to be recognised and remembered. It is a tribute grounded not only in her accomplishments, but in the spirit, sportsmanship, and positivity she brought to every team she was part of.

The cup will be awarded for the first time this weekend, marking an important occasion in the camogie calendar as two outstanding underage teams take to the field. It is fitting that players competing at this level will do so in memory of someone who gave so much to the development and success of Camogie.

Kate’s legacy will endure in her club, her county, and in the generations of players who follow.
