Courageous on the ball and a leader.Eilis also played for a time with the Neale Gaa . We would also send our condolences to her sister Claire who plays with Kilmaine LGFA . The sisters often came up against each other doing battle on the field , more notably the girls lined out on opposite teams in the League finals earlier this year.A talented, tough, hardworking and tenacious player and big lover of LGFA & GAA you’d always see Èilis out supporting the women’s & men’s Mayo teams throughout the season both home and away. She took pride in the Jersey and she will be deeply missed both on and off the fieldThe sky has gained an angel and a team mate
