Congratulations and Well Done
Congratulations and Well Done to local girl, Leanne Kiernan, who was a member of the Republic of Ireland Women’s Under 19 squad that took part in the European Under 19 qualifiers in Skopje last week. In the first game against Macedonia, Leanne scored 4 goals in what turned out to be a comprehensive 10—0 win for the Republic. In the girls second game against Wales, Leanne scored both goals in a two nil win. Leanne played the full game on Sunday against favourites Italy and although she did not score, she played a full part in a noteworthy 2—0 win for the Republic. These results ensure that the team qualifies for the Elite Round of qualifying for the UEFA European Championships due to be held early next year. Well done Leanne, you have made your home town and country proud of you!
