Eimear McAnespie from newly-crowned Monaghan senior club champions Emyvale has been honoured with The Croke Park Hotel/LGFA Player of the Month award for September 2024.
Emyvale made history on Sunday 29 September when they won the coveted county senior title for the first time in the club's history.
McAnespie, 26, captained Emyvale to glory against Magheracloone and she also produced a Player of the Match performance in the final, contributing 1-03.
Eimear’s twin sisters, former inter-county stars Ciara and Aoife, were also in the Emyvale starting line-up.
Since becoming a senior club outfit in 2009, Emyvale had suffered defeat in ten county finals before eventually making the breakthrough this year.
In early September, Emyvale signalled their intentions with an impressive victory over holders Donaghmoyne in the third round of the Monaghan Championship, before impressively accounting for Emmet Óg at the semi-final stage.
Emyvale were too strong for Magheracloone in the county decider and will now turn their attentions to the AIB Ulster Senior Club Championship campaign, and a first round meeting holders Clann Éireann of Armagh next Sunday at 2pm.
