💙🤍 Well, tonight just wasn’t our night. 🤍💙
The girls played fantastic from start to finish, giving everything they had for the blue and white jersey, but unfortunately Seán Connolly’s proved too strong on the night.
Congratulations to Seán Connolly’s and their management team. We wish you all the very best in the final. 👏
But what can we say about this incredible bunch of girls? ❤️
This was St Mary’s senior team’s first season in over 30 years, and from that very first game right through to tonight’s semi-final, these girls have given absolutely everything — blood, sweat and tears for the blue and white jersey. 💙🤍
They have grown stronger as a team with every game, created some fantastic memories along the way, and, most importantly, they have given all the younger girls coming through something to look forward to and dream about.
There is no doubt whatsoever that this team will win a championship in the future. Their journey has only just begun. 💙🤍
A huge congratulations and thank you to our management team for putting this amazing group of girls together and, more importantly, for turning them into a team that everyone at St Mary’s can be incredibly proud of.
Tonight may be the end of this championship journey, but it is only the beginning for this group.
Heads held high, girls. You have done your club proud. 💙🤍

🔵⚪ What a TEAM Performance! 🔵⚪
Well done, girls! What a battling performance against a very physical team and a really tough breeze in the first half.
We dug deep to go into half-time just 3 points down, and then showed incredible determination and togetherness in the second half.
The girls defended brilliantly as a team and worked tirelessly for each other to come away with a fantastic win.
A huge well done to every player — that’s what you call a great TEAM performance! 💙🤍
We wish St Brigid’s Gaels all the very best for the rest of the season.
A big thank you to both clubs’ management teams for their efforts and sportsmanship.
