KERRY’S Kayleigh Cronin has been honoured with The Croke Park Hotel/LGFA Player of the Month award for August 2024.

Kerry ended a 31-year wait for TG4 All-Ireland Senior Championship glory in style with a stunning final victory against Galway at Croke Park on Sunday, August 4.

At full-back, Dr. Crokes star Kayleigh produced an exceptional performance that earned her the Player of the Match award.

Kayleigh’s final performance was in keeping with her form throughout the season, as the Kingdom made up for back-to-back final losses in 2022 and 2023 to get their hands on the Brendan Martin Cup for the first time since 1993.

A 2022 TG4 All Star, 27-year-old Kayleigh was a rock at the heart of the Kerry defence on their march to the ultimate prize, while the team managed by Declan Quill and Darragh Long also captured the Munster title for the first time since 2017.

Kayleigh was presented with her award by Sinead Chydzik, People & Culture Manager, The Croke Park Hotel.
