QUERRIN’S Fidelma Marrinan has been named as the Croke Park/LGFA player of the month for June.
Fidelma’s form has been central to Clare’s march to the semi-finals of the TG4 All-Ireland intermediate semi-finals.
As Clare progressed through the group phase, the West Clare Gaels clubwoman notched 0-7 in the opening round win against Offaly, 2-9 in victory over Wicklow, and 0-3 as the Wayne Freeman’s side drew with Tyrone.
Clare moved safely into the knockout phase and Marrinan was superb in victory against Westmeath in the quarter-finals, hitting a total of 2-9.
Earlier this year, she scored 1-6 in the Lidl National League Division 3 Final against Kildare, with Clare losing out narrowly after extra-time.
With a total haul of 4-28 to date, Fidelma currently sits second behind Down’s Natasha Ferris in the race for the 2023 ZuCar Golden Boot, which will be awarded to the highest scorer in the 2023 TG4 All-Ireland series across the Senior, Intermediate and Junior grades.
Twenty three year old Fidelma who is a graduate of WIT was presented with her award by Ina Lazar, Sales Manager, Croke Park.
Supporters will be able to see Fidelma and Clare in semi-final action next Sunday (July 23rd) against Antrim in Glennon Brothers Pearse Park in Longford, the throw-in time is 2pm.
