As our keeper Ellen Alice heads back to the green pastures of the Orchard County, we want to wish her nothing but the very best! 🍀
Ellen first arrived as a fresh young face to stand between the sticks of the Oisín nets, minding them ferociously over the years. From the successful days of winning All-Britain and playing in an All-Ireland quarter-final, with many a league title to her name, to some of the more unsuccessful days where her back was nearly broken having to pick the ball out of the net that many times 😂 — she always turned up ready to literally throw her body at anything!
If you had the pleasure of playing in front of Ellen, you were guaranteed to get a few reminders about marking your player… whether you wanted them or not! 😂
While she may be leaving us with a few extra frown lines, we’ll certainly miss hearing those positive “GET ON YOUR MARKER and MOVE!” shouts from the goals!
Ellen, thank you for everything you’ve given to Oisíns over the years. You’ve been an absolute brilliant teammate and a massive part of the club.
We’ll miss you, but we wish you all the best of luck ☘️!
We asked Ellen to tell us a bit about her time at oisíns have a read:
It’s been an absolute privilege to be part of the Oisín community for the past 7 years. I’ve had the pleasure of playing alongside so many brilliant groups of girls, making some amazing memories and, most importantly, meeting friends for life.
A highlight will always be 2019, when we won the Junior All-Britain, giving us the opportunity to travel to Maastricht and qualify for the All-Ireland Junior Quarter Final. As well as lots of days celebrating Lancashire Junior and Intermediate success (and many nights celebrating!)
Oisín has been such a massive part of my life in Manchester, and while I’m devastated to be leaving, I’m so proud to have been part of this club and group of girls 💙🤍
