Ulster is well-represented in LGFA junior and intermediate All-stars as 13 players get the gong

Junior All-Ireland champions Fermanagh lead the way for Ulster in terms of team of the championship winners as a total of 13 Ulster players have been selected at the intermediate and junior levels.

The Ernewomen won the junior championship after beating Louth at Croke Park to regain intermediate status, whilst Tyrone Ladies lost the intermediate final against Leitrim, who regained their place in the senior championship.

Fermanagh had six players selected for the junior team of the championship: Ciara Clarke, Molly McGloin, Shannan McQuade, Cadhla-Cara Bogue, Bláithín Bogue and Eimear Smyth.

Smyth was Player of the Match in the All-Ireland Final victory over Louth and her high-scoring exploits throughout the season earned her the ZuCar Golden Boot award as the leading scorer in the TG4 All-Ireland Championships.

“We are delighted now to once again acknowledge the outstanding contributions of the competition’s leading players in the Junior and Intermediate Teams of the Championship.
