The game which went on for close to two hours finally ended in
a single point victory for the Sligo club. Curry won 4-21 to Kilbride’s
7-11 and the team captain’s outstanding contribution to the scoreboard
won her a much deserved Player of the Match Award on the day.
Marren is no stranger to success as she played a pivotal role
in Sligo’s 2006 Junior All Ireland winning team and in 2004 was
voted Connacht Young Play of the Year.

At the presentation of the Award, Marren said, “I’m thrilled to
receive this award. It was such a tight game and by the end of
it, the muscles in my legs had completely seized up so I was just
delighted that we got through it with the victory.”
