Eimear McAnespie from newly-crowned Monaghan senior club champions Emyvale has won The Croke Park Hotel/LGFA Player of the Month award for September 2024.
26-year-old McAnespie captained Emyvale to glory against Magheracloone in the Monaghan final. Also producing a player-of-the-match performance in the final, contributing 1-3.
A day where Emyvale made history on Sunday September 29; winning the coveted county senior title for the first time in the club’s history.
Eimear’s twin sisters, former inter-county stars Ciara and Aoife, were also in the Emyvale starting line-up.
Emyvale signalled their intentions with an impressive victory over holders Donaghmoyne in early September. Magheracloone impressively accounting for Emmet Óg at the semi-final stage.
Since becoming a senior club outfit in 2009, Emyvale suffered defeat in 10 county finals before finally making the breakthrough this year.
Emyvale were too strong for Magheracloone in the county decider and will now turn their attentions to the AIB Ulster Senior Club Championship campaign. Indeed, a first round meeting with holders Clann Éireann (Armagh) awaits next Sunday at 2pm.
Eimear was presented with her award today by Ina Lazar, Assistant Director of Sales, The Croke Park Hotel.
