Congratulations

Massive Congratulations from all at Bailieboro Celtic to Leanne Kiernan (daughter of John and Ita and pupil at Bailieborough Community School) and the Republic of Ireland Women’s Under 17s who qualified for the Elite Round of the UEFA European Championships. The girls topped Group 1 with a 3-0 win over Turkey– in which Leanne scored the opening goal, a 7—0 win over Andorra and a 3—0 win over the Ukraine— a game in which Leanne also scored. They will know their opponents in the Elite Round when the draw is made on December 10^th. An all-round sports person, Leanne started playing soccer with Bailieboro Celtic, she then moved to Kingscourt Harps and now she currently plays for Shelbourne Ladies. Leanne is also a noted runner and athlete and has played GAA for Bailieborough Shamrocks and has played for the Cavan County Under 14 side. Aged just 16, Leanne has accomplished so much already in the sporting world and all in the community wish her continued success in the years ahead! Who knows, maybe Leanne could turn out to be the ‘Messi’ of Ladies Football and have a glittering career ahead of her in the professional game!
