Marion McCarthy

Maron McCarthy is an Irish Camogie player who was born in Ireland. The father would do the illean pipe and the concertina and so then Maroni began to pipe and they soon had her doing the tin whistle when she was a young one. She won the first all Ireland Medal in ’78. Then won one in ’80 too. Then won one in ’82. Then came one in ’83, that one too turned 3 into four. Had too with Crk 3 national Leagues medal, the 1st one came along in ’84. Then got her hand on one two years after in ’68. There was one more left to get after before it ended. A unique attraction in camogie history is said the only one ever to win all Ireland-Medals in outfield and, after 1980, she took up to be a keeper. But she was a keeper in the ’78 too so it isn’t really what is said. She was honored with crok Camogie player of the Years 30 or so ago, about 1980.
