TESCO Home Grown Senior Championship Final - replay

Fingallians 2-16 Na Fianna 4-06

 

Congratulations to Fingallians who were crowned TESCO Home Grown Dublin Senior Champions for the first time in their history following an enthralling and thrilling replay versus former two times champions of Dublin, Na Fianna.

The replay which was played before a large crowd in Parnell Park last night was an engrossing encounter between two excellent teams who showcased ladies football at its best.

Congrat's to Niamh Rickard of Fingallians who was named as the TESCO Home Grown Player of the Match, the Dublin minor was a constant thorn in the side of the Na Fianna defence.
