Kerry captain Síofra O’Shea has been announced as the winner of the Croke Park/LGFA Player of the Month award for February 2023.
The Southern Gaels forward, 21, has been in magnificent form for the Kerry to date this season, with the Kingdom already through to the Lidl National League Division 1 Final at Croke Park on Saturday April 15.
Kerry have won all five of their top-flight matches in 2023, having gained promotion to Division 1 after claiming the 2022 Lidl National League Division 2 crown.
Former underage star Síofra has been central to her team’s efforts and in the month of February, she played starring roles in the victories over Donegal, Dublin and Meath, the current Lidl NFL Division 1 and TG4 All-Ireland Senior champions.
In the win against Donegal, she chipped in with 1-1 before following up with a haul of 1-2 as Kerry produced an impressive display to see off Dublin.
Kerry had lost out to Meath in the 2022 TG4 All-Ireland Senior Final but gained some measure of revenge with a comprehensive 1-18 to 0-9 win over the Royals on Sunday, February 25.
Kerry’s next outing is against Cork on St Patrick’s Day, and that’s a fixture that will be televised live by TG4 from Páirc Uí Rinn at 4 PM.
