‘It was great that my hard work paid off...’ Dohenys dynamo Melissa Duggan had a super season

“It is always a great honour to represent your province. It is unreal to play with so many top players. It was a great honour to captain the team to victory,” revealed the modest footballer.

“It is great that all my hard work has paid off with winning an All-Star.”

Kinsale star foward Orla Finn also picked up an All-Star at the TG4 awards ceremony. Duggan was delighted for her Cork colleague.

“It is fantastic for Cork that we have a club like Mourneabbey. They are such incredible role models. They have experienced heartbreak so many times, but for them to win successive All-Ireland finals this year is great. I was delighted for the girls, because I know the effort these girls have put in all year.”
