Cullen revealed as Player of the Month for May

Aoife Cullen of Wexford has been named The Croke Park Hotel/LGFA Player of the Month for May.

Cullen was superb for the Model County as they captured the TG4 Leinster intermediate title, with the Gusserane player scoring two points against Westmeath when the sides met early in the month in Round 3 of the round-robin phase of the Leinster Championship, in what was a provincial final dress rehearsal.

The 20-year-old forward followed up that showing with a matchwinning player-of-the-match display in the Leinster showpiece. Her haul of eight points, including a late winner, secured the title for the Slaneysiders at Laois Hire O’Moore Park on 19 May.

Cullen has carried that good form into the TG4 All-Ireland series and last Sunday she was on hand with another eight points as Wexford opened their Group 3 intermediate campaign with a 2-11 to 1-11 victory over Roscommon at McCauley Bellefield Park, the home of Rapparees/Starlights.

Wexford now turn their attentions towards a clash with Antrim away from home on Sunday, 16 June.
