Shinrone Ladies complete perfect season

Shinrone senior ladies soccer team were crowned Tipperary League champions in style last Wednesday by completing a perfect season.

A 4-3 away win over Tipperary Town saw Shinrone win ten games out of ten in the five team competition. A brace apiece from Laura Kavanagh and Mairead Teehan was enough to give Shinrone the victory despite goals from Stephanie Walsh (2) and Annie Ashton for the hosts.

“A massive season,” is what victorious manager Declan Mullally described the achievement as.

“There were losses in the middle in Cups & Shields but the character of the team was huge every time they came back and were tested,” he added.

“As the season developed, Dualla were with us and with us but we just managed to pull away in the last few weeks.

“Our last three results were Dualla away, Cahir away and Tipp Town away, huge fixtures to travel to and huge teams to play but the girls just stood together for those three games and got the results.”
