Salthill Devon Ladies can make history for the Club by securing its first ever Senior Trophy when they take on Peamount from Dublin at Tolka Park next Sunday at 3PM.

Many of the side were on the team that won the Intermediate Cup in 2008 and 8 of the squad were part of the victorious U16 teams of 07 and 08.

New additions to the panel this year are Rebecca McPhilbin, Laoise O’Driscoll, Sarah O Connell and former U19 international Jenny Critchley. These 4 in addition to Annette Clarke, Deirdre Connell and keeper Tina Hughes who enjoyed national success when playing for Galway Ladies in 2007 have added vast experience to what was already a very strong squad.

The side are captained by Ruth Fahy and she is joined in the middle of the field by none other than Irish U17 skipper Dora Gorman. Up front Kara Mullins and supreme goal poacher Lucy Hannon will cause any defence problems. At the back Salthill are marshalled by Irish U19 captain Becky Walsh and Emer Flatley with Aine Hannon, Caroline Carter and Dee Connell adding attacking flair to their defence qualities.

Annette Clarke and Rebecca McPhilbin add real steel to the team and the flair of full international Julieanne Russell, Tessa Mullins and Jenny Critchley gives great width and pace. Salthill will definitely be looking to use the wide open spaces of the Dublin venue. Salthill also have an abundance of youth with three 16 year olds in the squad namely Lauren Ashmore, Sarah O’Connell and Laura Carroll.

Salthill Devon are looking to win their 6th National Title in as many years. They have won the U12 Title in 2004, U14 in 2005, U16 in 2007, U16 and Intermediate in 2008 and are now in a position to complete the “Full House” with victory at Senior level this coming Sunday.
