The captain also congratula­ted runners up Drumcliffe/Rosses Point and said that St Mary’s were very familiar with being in their position the last two years.

She added: “I want to thank Drumcliffe/Rosses Point. We are used to being here in the final the last two years and we have been on your side of it.

“I want to thank you for a great game, it was really end to end stuff and only for the goals, there was little difference between the two teams.

“I would also like to thank our management team. “Shane (Breheny) for the effort he has put in over the last two years with us.

“I want to thank Mark (Breheny) for coming in and giving a hand as well as Sinead (Corcoran),” Karen said.
