Meath midfielder Máire O'Shaughnessy has been named The Croke Park/LGFA Player of the Month award for June.

O'Shaughnessy, 28, played a starring role for the Royal County as they captured the Lidl National League Division 2 title at Croke Park on 26 June, to gain promotion to the top flight for the 2022 campaign.

The Donaghmore-Ashbourne star was to the fore at midfield, to cap a memorable league campaign for Eamonn Murray’s outfit.

O’Shaughnessy is one of the key figures in Meath’s set-up – and she captained her county to TG4 All-Ireland intermediate championship glory in 2020.

She was named on the 2021 Lidl Team of the League for Division 2 and played the full game last Saturday as the Royals lost out narrowly to Cork by two points in their TG4 All-Ireland senior championship opener.

Meath still have the chance to advance to the quarter-finals of the competition – and O’Shaughnessy will have a vital role to play against Tipperary in TG4’s live tv fixture on Friday, 23 July.
