Nollaig Cleary is Player of the Month

Cleary wins this award for the second time in her career having previously won it for her performance against Armagh in the 2006 All Ireland final. The Gabriel Rangers forward led the line for Cork against Mayo in the Bord Gáis Energy Ladies National Football League Division 1 final.

The wing forward scored 6 points from play in a devastating display by the reigning champions who put Mayo to the sword outscoring the Westerners 1-20 to 0-11.

The two time All Star and four time All Ireland winner hailed the performance of the Cork back line in creating the scoring opportunities for her in the final.

“There was great movement all day and the backs kept breaking forward from defense and creating space and opportunities for the forwards to score. We were delighted to win the league especially as we had lost two games en route to the final,” said Cleary.
