A tough night in the Junior O Final, but a performance overflowing with fight, heart, and pure Margaret’s spirit. Ballyboden’s early goals put us under real pressure, yet our women refused to step back.

With a few injuries carried in and one of the oldest average ages in the competition — including a 54 year old aul wan — this team showed what experience, grit, and togetherness really look like.

They battled back, chipped away at the gap, and kept pushing right to the final whistle, adding a late point to keep the pressure on and the crowd roaring.

A special mention to captain Jackie Martin, who leads with passion and pride on and off the pitch — the heartbeat of this group.

And to our management team — Aidan, Dave, Catherine, Stan and Mick — thank you. There every week, every session, every match. Your support, organisation and belief mean the world to this team. We are so grateful for all you do.

The scoreboard didn’t fall our way, but the performance said everything.

💚💛 Proud of every single one of them. Up the Margaret’s.
