THREE Limerick players were named on the Division Four Ladies Football Team of the League, and were presented with their awards at Croke Park over the bank holiday weekend.

Limerick were runners-up to Carlow in the League.

The Limerick trio honoured were Yvonne Lee (Monagea) at full-back, mid-fielder Róisín Ambrose (Old Mill), and Deborah Murphy (Monagea) at centre-forward.

Ambrose kicked four points in this fixture, while Iris Kenneally (Old Mill) and Aoibhín Murphy (St Brigid’s) joint top-scored with 0-5 and 1-,2, respectively.
