All roads lead to Parnell Park in Dublin next Sunday as the Claremorris ladies football team prepares to play in their first-ever LGFA All-Ireland Club Junior Championship final.
Aidan Brennan’s side will take on O’Donovan Rossa of Cork at 2pm.
It’s been an incredible journey for this Claremorris team, as they defeated St Brigid’s in the Mayo LGFA junior county final. From there, they overcame Sligo’s CT Gaels 4-9 to 0-12 in the Connacht semi-final in Tubbercurry.
Then they won the Connacht LGFA Junior Club Championship earlier this month for the first time after they beat Leitrim’s St Brigid’s 2-13 to 2-8 in the final in Boyle.
Last Sunday week was a special day at Canon Gibbons Park as Claremorris netted five goals to defeat Erin’s Own Lavey by 5-4 to 2-11 in the semi-final. The outstanding Nina Wallace notched a brace, while Bree Hession, Ashleagh Sammon and Laura Kelly raised green flags.
Please bring the support and bring a big crowd to Parnell Park on Sunday next to support the girls are their quest for All-Ireland glory. The throw-in time is at 2pm.
