Poetry in motion as Eadestown hit five to lift fifth Championship in a row

Eadestown 5-15

St Laurences 0-6

Eadestown lifted their fifth Joe Mallon Motors LGFA Senior Football Championship in a row after a convincing win over St Laurences. Larries beat tonight's opponents earlier in the year when the side's met in the league final, but were no match this time around on a windy night in Manguard Park.

Best for the winning side was corner-forward Abaigh Cahill who hit 3-6 to do her chances of donning white next year no harm with an outstanding performance in front of new Kildare manager Pat O'Sullivan.

Another dominant display from Eadestown as they are crowned Senior champions of their county once again.

Eadestown, Abaigh Cahill 3-6 (0-1 frees), Siobhan O'Sullivan 1-2 (0-2 frees), Anna Hynes 0-4 (0-1 frees), Grainne Kenneally 1-0, Grace Clifford 0-1, Jessica Harney 0-1, Laura Byrne 0-1.

St Laurences, Caoimhe O'Sullivan 0-2 (0-2 frees), Miah Ryan 0-1, Brianne Leahy-Heydon 0-1, Marie Kealy 0-1, Ciara Wheeler 0-1.
