Kaylin Returns with Munster Football Championship Cup
There was great celebrations at Scoil Naomh Pádraig in Knocknasna on Friday when past pupil Kaylin O’Connor returned with her cup.
By: Marian Harnett
She had won this cup as captain of the Limerick U-14 ladies football team which won the Munster Championship.
Kaylin graduated from Scoil Naomh Pádraig, Knocknasna last June.She had always been a significant sportsperson in the school and the local parish of Abbeyfeale.
She is now leading her team in training for an all Ireland title.
Kaylin comes from a long tradition of football and sport.
Her dad Kevin was known as the blond bombshell when he played for Fr. Casey’s team and the Limerick county team in his youth in the early noughties.
Kaylins mom Julie also hails from a sporting background of camogie in her native Shannon town in Co. Clare.
Both Kaylin’s brothers Evan and Leon have also got the genes and will be sporting heros in the years to come like those who went before them.
All at Scoil Naomh Pádraig wish Kaylin and her team the very best of luck in their up coming matches.

The Maine Valley Post has, is and always will be a free resource for the people of the locality and its wider diaspora.
When we started in 2013, the intention was to be a weekly, online newsletter. Over time, the site has evolved into a much different beast with multiple updates on a daily basis.
Because of its nature as a digital publication, it brings with it certain expenses: computers and cameras that require updating and maintenance; internet hosting and access; to say nothing of the time and hard work that goes into the site. It all adds up…
Our online community has always been our greatest asset and a vocal supporter of the Maine Valley Post since day one.
