Ballymacarbry's Aileen Wall named player of the month

Ballymacarbry's Aileen Wall has been named Croke Park/LGFA Player of the Month award for October.

It was a memorable month for Ballymac, who claimed a 41st consecutive Waterford senior championship title before embarking on a memorable Munster championship run.

A stand-out result for Ballymac was victory over Cork outfit Mourneabbey in the Munster quarter-final, a game that saw Aileen find the net in a landmark win.

Wall was also influential in the semi-final victory over Kerry's Southern Gaels, and she celebrated her 29th birthday in style last Sunday as Ballymacarbry were crowned Munster A Senior champions for the first time in 22 years, following victory over Clare opponents Banner.

Wall, a direct and pacey forward, has been a driving force for history-making Ballymac in their most recent outings and one of the most experienced members of the club’s panel.

Ballymac are now preparing for a currentaccount.ie All-Ireland club semi-final against the Connacht champions, who will be revealed on Sunday when current All-Ireland title holders Kilkerrin-Clonberne (Galway) pit their wits against Mayo opponents Burrishoole.
