The Graiguecullen native Captained Wexford Youths to cup glory
Fresh from Captaining Wexford Youths to Women's National cup success, a Laois soccer star has been named the League of Ireland player of the year.
Graiguecullen's Kylie Murphy scooped the award on Wednesday night after a stellar season capped off by scoring a crucial goal in their cup final win over league champions Shelbourne.
Wexford Youths have had a fantastic year and Murphy has been to the fore in all that has been good about them. Joined at the club by two other Laois players - Ciamh Gray and Della Doherty who were also central to the cup win and securing a third place league finish.
Murphy was also selected up front on the league's team of the year and her stock continues to go from strength to strength.
