When Hilda Breslin took over as president of the Camogie Association three years ago, the world was a very different place.

In April 2021, the annual congress took place remotely because of the Covid pandemic. Not being in the same room as the association members was strange for her; however, she didn’t feel any disappointment at not being able to celebrate the biggest moment in her 20-year journey as a volunteer. Instead she was empathetic to how others were impacted at that time.
