Mayo goalkeeper in the running for 2023 ZuCar Golden Glove award
A goalkeeper from Mayo has been nominated for the 2023 ZuCar Golden Glove award.
Laura Brennan faces stiff competition from Dublin's All-Ireland senior championship winning 'keeper Abby Shiels as well as Kerry's Ciara Butler and Meath's TG4 All-Star Monica McGuirk.
The four goalkeepers are in with a chance of claiming the award from ZuCar, the LGFA’s performance partner and sponsors of the ZuCar All-Ireland Ladies Minor Football Championships and Gaelic4Teens programme.
The ZuCar Golden Glove will be presented to the goalkeeper who wins the popular vote at https://bit.ly/3OYo8li. Voting is now open.
Option A is an outstanding save by Dublin goalkeeper Abby Shiels against Cork in the TG4 All-Ireland senior championship semi-final, denying Daire Kiely's blistering effort.
Option B is another excellent save, this time from Mayo goalkeeper Laura Brennan to keep out Armagh forward Aimee Mackin's well-struck penalty in the group stages of the TG4 All-Ireland senior championship.
Option C is a wonderful save from Meath goalkeeper Monica McGuirk during the TG4 All-Ireland senior championship quarterfinal when Kerry forward Louise Ní Mhuircheartaigh looked certain to find the net.
Finally, option D is another penalty save, this time from Kerry's Ciara Butler to repel Dublin captain Carla Rowe during the group stages of the All-Ireland series at Parnell Park.
Visit https://bit.ly/3OYo8li to vote. Fans voting for their preferred choice will be in with a chance to win a ZuCar goodie pack. Voting will close at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, September 6.
Longford’s Riane McGrath was the inaugural recipient and Laois goalkeeper Eimear Barry won the award in 2022.
Meanwhile, the winner of the 2023 ZuCar Golden Boot is Clare star Fidelma Marrinan, who finished as leading scorer in the 2023 TG4 All-Ireland championships with a haul of 5-38 for the TG4 All-Ireland intermediate finalists.
Fidelma will be presented with her award later this month, as will the Golden Glove winner.
