JULIA GAWALKIEWICZ
Club: Charlestown
Occupation: Student
Position: Goalkeeper
Learn to pronounce that surname. We said it in 2022 when the then sixteen-year-old daughter of Polish immigrants told The Mayo News about her ‘dream’ to play senior football for Mayo after winning a Connacht intermediate title with Charlestown.

After many years in goal with Swinford FC, she signed for Athlone Town’s League of Ireland side. In 2024, she was the goalkeeping coach with the inaugural Mayo FC U-15 boys team.
