Congratulations and Well Done: Congratulations and Well Done to the Bailieborough Shamrocks Senior Ladies squad and management on winning the Intermediate Football Championship title on Saturday last, in Kingspan Breffni Park when they defeated near neigbhours, Kingscourt by 5—11 to 2—8. Lots of hard work went into this achievement and after trying very hard for the last few years—with a few disappointments along the way—the Girls finally managed to bring home the silverware. Well done also to Andrea Reilly who received the ‘Player of the Match’ award. The Girls next outing is in the Ulster Club Championship, when they will play the Tyrone champions at the end of this month.
