Can you solve the mystery? Kildare woman wonders if anyone recognises any of these faces
Kildare woman wonders if anyone remembers her mum Sheila Norton and her club mates
This is a picture of Ballitore Camogie Club members and trainers in late 1930s/early 1940s.
“My late mother, Sheila Norton, is front left and I have no idea who the rest are. I would really appreciate if anyone could please help with naming the rest of this wonderful club. You are the best paper in Kildare. I have relocated to Roscommon for love 40 years ago but I still enjoy reading the Leinster Leader every week,” says Kathleen.
Does anyone recognise any faces in this picture?
Ballitore Camogie Club was an early pioneer of camogie in County Kildare, which later evolved into what is known today as St. Laurence's Camogie Club. It was originally founded in March 1934 by Sheila Norton. During its initial run, Ballitore was widely considered the top team in the county, reaching the Kildare Junior Camogie Championship final in 1940.
