Fergus Rovers face Kilmurry Ibrickane in senior ladies final

Senior Ladies Football Championship final between Fergus Rovers and Kilmurry Ibrickane will be played at St. Michael’s Park, Kilmihil on Sunday at 2pm.

The match follows Fergus Rovers’ recent victory over Kildysart in the men’s semi‑final and their impressive run through under‑age competitions, including a hat‑trick of Minor A titles and All‑Ireland Feile wins.

Kilmurry Ibrickane, who last won a senior crown outright in 2019, entered the final after defeating the Banner Ladies in a historic Cusack Park showdown with St. Joseph’s Doora/Barefield in 2024.

Rovers, who have not appeared in a senior final since 2002, will rely on the experience of players such as Louise Cleary, while Kilmurry Ibrickane will look to the versatility of Chloe Moloney, Ciara McCarthy, Amy Sexton, Joanna Doohan and Ellie Hanrahan to dominate the game.

The final is expected to be a test of Rovers’ youthful energy against Kilmurry Ibrickane’s greater senior experience.
