Mayo native Amy Mahon has been named in the Republic of Ireland Under 15 girls schools squad for the Bob Docherty Cup this year.

Mahon was congratulated by her soccer club Castlebar Celtic today, and also by her Gaelic football club, Charlestown LGFA.

“Amy joins the long list of Castlebar Celtic girls who have made international teams. We are so proud of them all,” said the county town club on its Facebook page earlier today.

On its Facebook page, Charlestown LGFA posted: “Amy is a huge asset to her GAA team and is always on hand to offer encouragement and advice to our upcoming 'keepers. Throughout her soccer training Amy has always been dedicated to Charlestown Ladies and we’re very lucky to have her - be it outfield or between the posts where she shines!”
