Clare’s Fidelma Marrinan is The Croke Park/LGFA Player of the Month for June 2023

CLARE attacker Fidelma Marrinan has been honoured with The Croke Park/LGFA Player of the Month award for June 2023.

The 23-year-old forward, from the West Clare Gaels club, has been in stunning form in 2023 and she’s played a key role in the Banner County’s march to a TG4 All-Ireland Intermediate semi-final against Antrim on Sunday July 23.

As Clare progressed through the group phase, Fidelma notched 0-7 in the opening round win against Offaly, 2-9 in victory over Wicklow, and 0-3 as the Munster outfit drew with Tyrone.

Clare moved safely into the knockout phase and Marrinan was superb in victory against Westmeath last Sunday, collecting 2-9.

Earlier this year, Marrinan collected 1-6 in the Lidl National League Division 3 Final against Kildare, with Clare losing out narrowly after extra-time.

With a total haul of 4-28 to date, Fidelma currently sits second behind Down’s Natasha Ferris in the race for the 2023 ZuCar Golden Boot, which will be awarded to the highest scorer in the 2023 TG4 All-Ireland series across the Senior, Intermediate and Junior grades.

Fidelma was presented with her Player of the Month award this afternoon by Ina Lazar, Sales Manager, Croke Park.
