Terence Doherty (Glengad United)
Glengad United are just one step from the Aviva after Shane Byrne’s team had an excellent 3-1 win over Clonmel Town in Sunday’s FAI Junior Cup quarter-final. In a game of inches, Terence Doherty had Glengad in front after Connor Barrow’s opener was cancelled out. Christy Fildara added the coup de grace. Doherty’s predatory instincts were key as Glengad moved into a semi-final meeting with St Michael’s.
Megan Havlin (Moville Community College)
Moville Community College won last week’s FAI Schools Senior Girls National Cup final at the Showgrounds. Megan Havlin led the way for the Moville students, scoring one of the goals and having a hand in the other three in a 4-0 win.
Anna Hennessy (Letterkenny)
Letterkenny’s Anna Hennessy was in the headlines last week after a glorious assault in the Swim Ulster Open Disability Championships. The popular 19-year-old won a gold, two silver and a bronze medal at the Championships in Newy.
