Indoor Hurling/Camogie in February

Hello Everyone,

You asked for it, and Indoor hurling on the artificial turn field at API in Gambrills is back. We have booked the 3 remaining Friday nights in February from 9:00pm to 10:30pm with an option to pick up a few March dates.

We hope that this will be the start of another great season for both the Baltimore and Washington clubs. So come on out and bust the rust off and enjoy a great night of 7 on 7 co-ed hurlinggames.  At 9pm we will pick teams from everyone who is there and play 10 minute games until we run out of field time.

Price this year will be $15 per person per night to cover the cost of the field rental ($275). Any left over money after the 4 weeks will either be split between the clubs or used to cover an additional night of games in March. To keep this all organized please sign up online.

Spotlight on a Player: Stephanie Menser


Stephanie Menser is part of the “iron wall” of defense on the National Champion camogie team. Her amazing grabs from the air are breathtaking and thrilling. Steph has been a team player and always looks at the positive aspects of the games. She is an intimidating player and an overall great person.


1. How long have you been playing? How did you hear about playing? What is your favorite position?

This is my third season, and I heard about camogie at work with Tine Melen. I enjoy playing defense because you get to hit the sliotar a long way without worrying about aiming for the uprights or the goal.
 
2. Player you admire the most? Player you are most scared to play against?
I’ve never seen anyone as committed to a sport and team as Lucy is to the GAA. Margo is scary good. She always goes left when you expect her to go right…and she could score goals with her eyes closed.
 
3. Best post-game treat?
Those cupcakes Karen made were awesome.
4. Best pump-up song?
“The Warrior” by Scandal and Patty Smith
 
5. Player with the best style?
Jill!. Those socks should get their own player profile one day.
 
6. Favorite ice cream flavor?
Anything with a graham cracker swirl in it.
 
7. Worst injury?
I broke my pinky last fall in NY and had to get a pin put in. The hand surgeon was a big hurling fan, though. He’d even seen a match at Croke Park.
 
8. Best memory of GAA/experience?
Going to St Louis this year. Seeing so many other girls playing camogie. And bringing home the cup, of course.
 
9. What would your wrestling name be?
I doubt that my wrestling skills are worthy of a name, but Turbo Verde is what the online generator gave me. It obviously hasn’t seen me run.
 
10. What would a headline about your playing be?
The Beast Channels the Terminator and Stops a Point with Her Bare Hand
 
11. Best drink?
Anything cold.
 
12. Favorite breakfast before a game?
Banana, Go Lean Cereal, and Almond Milk.
 
13. What does your family think of you playing?
My dad thinks I’m crazy and secretly hoped I would quit after I got injured last year. My mom and sister are just anxious to see a match. Too bad Charlotte and Tampa don’t have teams.
 
14. Goal for this season?
Win Nationals, of course. On a more personal level, I’d like to hit more consistently from my left side.
 
15. Best thing to shout at a game?
“Kick it! Kick it!” Though with my new mouthguard, everything I shout sounds like “Mmmmph! Mmmmph!”
