Mairead Farrell Team Captain Ciara Moore gets a kiss on the cheek from Ann Marie Cawley, sister of the late Sean P. Cawley, after whom the divisional championship cup is named.
The Mairead Farrell Junior Ladies Football Club again took the division championship and the Sean P. Cawley Cup on Sunday afternoon at Cardinal Dougherty High School. But it wasn’t easy. Their opponents, the Notre Dames, played their hearts out. As Maired Farrell Team Captain Ciara Moore told her teammates after the game, “It could have gone either way.”
Both teams will be traveling to Chicago over the Labor Day weekend for the national championships, as will the Allentown Hibernians hurling team which clinched its second divisional championship in a match against the Philadelphia Shamrocks.
We have photos from both championship games and from the men’s football match-up between the Young Irelanders and the St. Patrick clubs in which St. Patrick emerged the winner.
