Captain Lucie O’Reilly was deservedly named Player of the Match, while Amy Wall delivered an outstanding performance, scoring an impressive four goals for the Leo’s side.

A huge 150-strong group of students and parents travelled to Offaly to support the team despite very difficult weather conditions. Congratulations also to the management team, Laura Kelly and Tadgh Walsh, who have worked tirelessly with the squad since September. This is a fantastic achievement for all involved — well done to players and mentors alike.
