Sarsfields win first ever Kildare LGFA Senior Division 1 title
Elsewhere on a busy weekend of league final action, Naas lifted the Division 2 title while Carbury and Castlemitchell came out on top in Division 3 & 4
Sarsfields won their first ever Kildare LGFA Senior Division 1 title after a thrilling 3-13 to 3-6 win over Eadestown in Manguard Park, Hawkfield.
The Sash were buoyed by the presence of county star Aisling Irhue’s inclusion as well as having the presence of Róisín Byrne throughout their league campaign, a benefit they have not enjoyed for many years with their star forward typically in county action.
Sarsfields led 2-6 to 1-5 at the break but kicked on further to lift a first senior league title with a seven-point win. Orlagh Judge, Erin Healy and Byrne raised green flags for the girls in green on their way to a historic victory.
