Abby Shiels wins Golden Glove Award
- Sep 20,2023
DUBLIN goalkeeper Abby Shiels (Lucan Sarsfields) is the winner of the 2023 ZuCar Golden Glove award.
Abby's outstanding save to deny Cork's Daire Kiely in the TG4 All-Ireland Senior Championship semi-final in Thurles on July 29 won the popular vote on the Ladies Gaelic Football Association website.
Abby was one of four nominees for the prestigious individual honour, along with Mayo's Laura Brennan, Meath's TG4 All Star goalkeeper, Monica McGuirk, and Kerry's Ciara Butler.
The ZuCar Golden Glove award for Abby crowns a magnificent individual season for the 21-year-old Lucan Sarsfields goalkeeper, who was the last line of defence as Dublin claimed the 2023 TG4 All-Ireland Senior Championship title with victory over Kerry at Croke Park on August 13.
There were over 4,000 votes registered for the 2023 ZuCar Golden Glove award, with Abby’s save accounting for 1879 votes.
Abby’s nearest challenger, Mayo netminder Laura Brennan, received 1021 votes.
Abby was presented with her award at Croke Park today by Ladies Gaelic Football Association President, Mícheál Naughton, and Allyson McCarthy, Group Marketing Manager, Joe Duffy Group, representing ZuCar.
