DUBLIN LGFA HAVE confirmed that 2017 and 2018 All-Ireland winning captain Sinéad Aherne will lead the charge once again.
Mick Bohan’s Sky Blues are chasing three in-a-row this year, while hoping to defend their first-ever Lidl Ladies National Football League Division 1 crown — and 2018 Player of the Year Sinéad Aherne has been tasked with the job of captain again.
A real leader both on and off the pitch, the St Sylvester’s sharpshooter made her debut back in 2003 and has been absolutely immense since then, winning three All-Ireland titles, 12 Leinster senior crowns and seven All-Stars.

Since making her debut back in 2003, Aherne has gone to win
3 SFC All Irelands 1 Div 1 NFL 2 Div 2 NFL 12 Leinster SFC titles 7 All Stars.
As well as the 2018 Division 1 honour, she has two Division 2 medals to her name.
One of the finest players across the length and breadth of the country, Aherne’s scoring exploits on any given day are pretty remarkable — her scoring from play and accuracy from frees second to none.

She was key last year as the Jackies made it back-to-back All-Ireland titles for the first time ever, lifting plenty of silverware en route, while she was rightfully recognised as Footballer of the Year by her peers at the All-Star awards.
Elsewhere, Moy Davitts star Niamh Kelly will captain Mayo for 2019 as the Green and Red look to get back on track after a difficult summer last year.
Just over a week out from the 2019 Six Nations openers, Murray Kinsella and Gavan Casey are joined by Bernard Jackman to look at Ireland’s bid for another Grand Slam:
