CBC Radio Interview about new Camogie program at Ottawa Gaels

The Ottawa Gael’s Introduction to Camogie program caught the attention of the CBC radio program All in a Day hosted by Alan Neal. The show’s producers reached out to us after having viewed our Into to Camogie program post on social media. Former Chairperson and 20+ year member, Kerry Mortimer spoke with Alan Neal on Friday, October 9th for nearly 9 minutes during the popular afternoon radio program.

The show host had a keen interest in the history of this unique Irish sport playing be women, despite starting the show by calling it “Camojie”, a common mispronunciation. After clearing up that it’s a hard “g”, the host and guest went on to have an enthusiastic chat about “Camogie”, this ancient Irish indigenous sport we love to play. We invite you to listen to the full CBC radio interview.

Our weekly Intro to Camogie program runs for two more weeks outdoors on Saturday mornings (Oct 24, 31) before moving indoors to the RA Centre domes for Saturday evenings in November and December.
