Sinéad Hayden from Bennekerry/Tinryland is The Croke Park Hotel/LGFA Player of the Month for November 2024

SINÉAD Hayden from the Bennekerry/Tinryland club in Carlow has been honoured with The Croke Park Hotel/LGFA Player of the Month award for November 2024.

Bennekerry/Tinryland created history last Saturday, December 14, when they became the very first Carlow club to appear in an AIB All-Ireland Ladies Club Football Championship Final.

And Bennekerry/Tinryland made their Croke Park outing a winning one, as they defeated Galway opponents Annaghdown by 2-10 to 1-7 in the Intermediate decider to claim national silverware.

Prior to that, November was also a landmark month for the club, as they claimed the Leinster title before defeating Cavan opponents Mullahoran in the AIB All-Ireland semi-final.

On November 9, Sinéad (23) scored three points from corner forward as Bennekerry/Tinryland overcame the challenge of Meath’s Dee Rangers in the provincial decider.

A remarkable adventure continued at the All-Ireland semi-final stage against Mullahoran, and Sinéad sparkled with a haul of 2-1 at Kingspan Breffni on November 30.

Sinéad was on the scoresheet again at Croke Park last Saturday, on AIB All-Ireland Final day, landing 0-2 as Bennekerry/Tinryland crowned an unforgettable year at GAA HQ.

Sinéad was  presented with her award today by Olivia Colgan, Business Development Executive, The Croke Park Hotel.
