CIARA NEEDHAM
If you know football, you know exactly how vital Ciara Needham can be to a side, and she showed it again in Swinford on Sunday.
Anywhere that O'Hora needed this talented Louisburgh sensation, she showed up.
Across her 54 minutes on the turf, she showed up everywhere. Whether it was shoring up the defence on the rare occasion things were getting lairy, or her sweeping passes to help carve through the opposition rear-guard, the half-back had it all.
Those forward impacts bore fruit for Aoife Staunton's three-pointer, while she got in on the scoring free-for-all with a single to help bring the curtain down on the first half.
Her kick-pass for the first goal was also instrumental in scything through the Wexford team.
Her curtain call came in the 54th minute, making way for Clodagh Murphy, but the 2023 All-Star nominee could prove to be crucial cog in this well-oiled machine.
