Our Lady’s girls setting the standard in Ulster

The finest schools ladies footballers from across the province were honoured last weekend as the Kutri Sports Schools All-Star awards were announced. A total of 25 players representing 17 different schools made the selection, the winners receiving their awards at a function in Kelly’s Inn on the 10th January. Our Ladys Castleblayney had the largest representation of any school in the province   with three girls receiving the highly prodigious All-Star award. Aoife Duffy (Aughnamullen) Niamh Callan ( Donaghmoyne) and Muireann Atkinson (O’Neill Shamrocks) were selected for the Ulster squad which will now proceed to represent the province in the Post Primary Schools inter-provincial tournament in Mullingar on the 25th January.

The girl’s inclusion comes at a timely boost for the senior ladies panel ahead of their Ulster A Final on Tuesday next the 28th January when they face St Pauls Bessbrook in the final in Crossmaglen at 12.30. The Blayney School have had an impressive route to the final defeating St Louis Carrick, Assumption Ballinahinch and St Patrick’s Academy Dungannon in the semi-final. The girls tasted success in 2012 at senior C level and again in 2013 at B level, this year the girls are competing at A level for the first time in the school’s history. The girls are on the verge of an historic three in a row.

The panel is Emma Forde (C’Blayney), Alanagh Mc Elroy, Aine Mc Elroy, Niamh Callan, Elaine Mc Kernan, Ellen Tibby, Chloe Woods, Caoimhe Courtney, Roisin Finnegan, Eimear Finnegan (All Donaghmoyne), Alanna O’Donaghue(Emyvale), Aoife Duffy, Margaret Sheridan, Bronagh Sheridan Elma Forde( All Aughnamullen), Muireann Atkinson, Blaithin Bishop, Cliona Mc Donald, Emma Kerr (All O’Neill Shamrocks), Mikialla Mc Cabe, Aoife Mc Bennett( St Brigids) Aoife Connolly Megan Byrne ( both Doohamlet).

The squad wish to acknowledge the sponsorship of Pete Mc Mahon (Super Value) and Raymond Watters (Old Coach Inn) for his continued support of ladies Gaelic in the School.
