It has just been announced that Kerry Ladies U16 star Siofra O Shea has received the Munster Young Player of The Year from the Ladies Football Association.
The Caherdaniel native starred for the Kerry U16 team on the way to their Munster final championship victory over Tipperary, and she was Kerry’s top performer in the All Ireland semi final victory over Kildare and the subsequent extra time loss to Galway in the All Ireland final.
The award comes on the back of what has been an exceptional few months for the Southern Gaels girl. Siofra was picked for the Irish basketball team earlier in the summer, and she was rated as one of Ireland’s top performers in the European competition which took place in Montenegro.
Siofra will receive her honour at the All Star banquet on December 1st at the City West Hotel where she will be joined by Aislinn Desmond and Sarah Houlihan who have been nominated for All Star Awards.
