Alex Kavanagh scoops Player of the Month award

Shelbourne midfielder Alex Kavanagh has capped off a memorable year by winning the SSE Airtricity Women's National League Player of the Month Award for October 2022.

The Reds finished up as double champions following their WNL title triumph and victory in the EVOKE.ie FAI Women's Cup Final, with Kavanagh playing a key role in their success.

The Dubliner forced her way back into the starting line-up following injury problems earlier in the year and started their final six games in both competitions - scoring in the 4-0 win over Wexford Youths in the last league game of the season.

Kavanagh, who previously won this Award in April 2019, was selected ahead of club-mate Jessie Stapleton and DLR Waves forward Kate Mooney.
