Ultimate honour for Kelsie Burrows as Cliftonville Ladies hand out season awards… picture gallery and all the winners

Players' Player of the Year Kelsie Burrows

KELSIE Burrows has been as named Cliftonville Ladies Players’ Player of the Year by her team-mates.

Staged at The Devenish Complex, the event brought the curtain down on an historic season for John McGrady’s side who, in addition to being crowned invincible Sports Direct Women’s Premiership Champions with a 100% winning record, also lifted the VBet League Cup and Electric Ireland Women’s Irish Cup.

With captain Burrows honoured by her fellow players, the coaching staff plumped for Toni Leigh Finnegan to receive their accolade, while Orleigha McGuinness was named Young Player of the Year alongside sister Caitlin collecting the Golden Boot.

The Cliftonville Ladies Supporters Club, meanwhile, selected Caitlin McGuinness as their star perfomer and handed Orleigha the Young Player award in addition to naming Louise McDaniel’s Irish Cup Final strike against Lisburn Rangers as their Goal of the Season.

On the Ladies’ Under-19 side, Aisling Anderson was named Cliftonville Corinthians’ Player of the Year by both her team-mates and the coaching staff, with Morgan Cunningham honoured as the team’s Most Improved Player alongside Tara Reilly being formally acknowledged as their Top Goalscorer.
