Glen Rovers honour memory of Sarah Kate O'Meara at special tournament 

Eight Cork camogie clubs will join Glen Rovers for the Sarah Kate O'Meara Memorial Seven-a-side Tournament on Saturday to remember the Glen Rovers player who passed away unexpectedly two years ago.

Just 18 years old, Sarah Kate was a member of the Glen minor team. She began playing camogie in Glen Rovers’ underage academy in the footsteps of her twin sisters Emily and Isobel. 

She progressed through the club ranks and continued to prosper to be one of the club's emerging stars. The competition will be played in the grounds where she loved to be in the thick of the camogie action.

Last year was the inaugural year of the tournament. It was run as an U20 event with Ballinhassig the first winner of the trophy.

This year, it will be a seven-a-side competition for adult teams and it is sure to be hotly contested. Ten teams will take part, Douglas, Ballinhassig, Courcey Rovers, Na Piarsaigh, St Catherine’s, Inniscarra, Blackrock and Sarsfields and two teams from Glen Rovers.

The format for the day is teams will check in at 10am with the first matches at 11am sharp. Each team is guaranteed four group stage matches and these will be followed by quarter-finals, semi-finals, and the final. 

The group stage games are 11am to 2.20pm and they will be eight minutes a half with a two minuet half time break. The quarter finals are at 3pm and 3.20pm, and the semi-finals at 4.10pm. 

The quarter- and semi-finals are eight minutes a half. The final will be at 5pm and it will be 10 minutes a half.

There are two groups and the top four teams in each group go through to quarters. It will be two points for a win, one point for a draw. 

If there's a tie on points, it will be decided on score difference, head-to-head, total points or by a draw.

Each team can name up to 14 players on their panel with unlimited substitutions during a match.

On the day, there will be a raffle in aid of the Dillon Quirke Foundation with plenty of great prizes on offer.
