Jessica Ziu has been given the SSE Airtricity Women's National League player of the month award for May.

The Shelbourne winger, who is set to join West Ham later in the summer, scored three goals as the defending champions won all four games they played in the month. It has seen them stretch their lead over second placed Wexford to eight points.

"I'm really happy to have won the Player of the Month award," she said.

"I've got one game left so I'm really happy that I could get an award in before I left. And I'm happy that all of my performances, assists, goals and teamwork are getting noticed.

"We've started off really well. Noel (King, manager) trusts in all of us and hopefully we can keep our heads down, not let any of it get to us and extend the lead at the top even more."

Ziu was selected ahead of Athlone Town striker Emily Corbet and Galway's Chloe Singleton in the voting process.
