Well Done again, Leanne!!!: Bailieborough native and Community School student, Leanne Kiernan once again helped Shelbourne Ladies to move five points clear at the top of the Continental Tyres Women’s National League with just two games remaining. Leanne Kiernan’s 13th goal of the season on the hour mark sealed three points against Wexford Youths WFC and moved them to 26 points for the season. The result means that Shelbourne Ladies sit top of the League with UCD Waves behind them. UCD face Shelbourne on November 30, where a draw or Shels win will see Shelbourne wrap up the League.

A great individual award for Jack, who is still U16, for his consistent outstanding performances in the Celtic Challenge U17 inter-county competition for Cavan, picking up numerous player of the game awards along the way as well as great performances in the Cavan U16 championship, Ulster U16 league and Ulster minor league.
