DUBLIN’S CAPTAIN FANTASTIC Sinéad Aherne has been rewarded for her glittering form of late with The Croke Park Hotel / LGFA Player of the Month award for May.
The 32-year-old attacking star was the Sky Blues’ leading light in their recent Lidl Ladies National Football League Division 1 final win, her unerring accuracy before the posts causing serious problems for Mayo.
Aherne accounted for 1-9 of Dublin’s 3-15 as they ran out 11-point winners in Parnell Park and she lifted their first-ever Division 1 crown.

Not only was she the star turn in the decider, the St Sylvester’s ace was key for Mick Bohan’s charges throughout their campaign, closing her personal scoring tally with 3-35.
Bohan himself was named Lidl / Irish Daily Star Manager of the 2018 Lidl Ladies National Football League on the night of the Team of the League awards, at which three Dubs — Ciara Trant, Martha Byrne and Nicole Owens — were honoured.

Tipperary boss Shane Ronayne, who guided his side to the Division 2 league title, scooped the Manager of the Month award for May.
