Rosina McManus (Róisín Mhic Mhánais) was a Northern Irish person who was involved in the promotion of camogie.
Presidency
McManus went on to become the 14th president of the Camogie Association.[1]
McManus organised coaching courses in Belfast which were filmed for promotional purposes.[citation needed] During her presidency in 1969, the All-Ireland Colleges Council was set up with Lily Spence as chair, and the first All Ireland Colleges Camogie Championship was completed. She continued to referee matches after her presidency.
Death at Camogie match
On 16 June 2008 she collapsed shortly after the final whistle sounded for the Ulster Senior final between Derry and Antrim in Dunloy. She was taken to Causeway Hospital, but died 48 hours later.[2] One anonymous GAA blogger reported that she was involved in training the Connolly Under 14 club team a short while before her sudden passing because of her constant involvement in volunteering to give something back to her community in exchange for the promotion of camogie.[3]
