Sadhbh Doyle - SSE Airtricity Women's Premier Division Player of the Month for May

Sadhbh Doyle has been awarded the SSE Airtricity Women's Premier Division Player of the Month for May.

Peamount United have opened up a six-point lead at the top of the table, and the Galway native has been instrumental to her side's impressive form.

Doyle has been crucial in attacking phases for Peamount and has contributed four goals toward an imperious 2023 campaign.

The 23-year-old has netted three times in her last four outings, with a brace against Galway United and the winning goal away to Shelbourne a standout.

Her fine form has achieved selection in Team of the Week on six occasions, drawing plaudits from pundits and rival managers regularly.

"Winning the Player of the Month Award is just a reflection on how well Peamount are doing this season," said Doyle.

"We had a really good pre-season behind us, and I sensed from the start of the year that things would go well for us and luckily enough they have. So we're really happy to be where we are. But it's not luck either - it's well deserved.

"I think this year is very open. Looking at the table now coming into the break, it's really hard to predict who is going to be at the top. There is only a few points between the teams so it could go any way, which is exciting and it's good for the League."

Leanne Sheill, SSE Airtricity Marketing Manager, said: "Congratulations to Sadhbh Doyle of Peamount United on being named the SSE Airtricity Player of the Month for May. She has been instrumental to Peamount United’s strong start to the season that sees them top of the table currently.

"This season seems to be even more competitive than last season with so many teams performing so well and narrowly separated towards the top of the table. And the level of support across the country has been brilliant to see with attendance rising and the attendance record being broken several times already this season.

"As proud sponsor of the SSE Airtricity Women’s Premier Division, we’re excited to see how the rest of the season will unfold."

Doyle topped the voting ahead of team-mate Karen Duggan and Bohemians midfielder Mia Dodd.
