Mick Bohan’s Dublin got their Lidl National League up and running with a convincing win over Waterford, and the manager had plenty of praise for his match-winning Irish international.
Rugby star Hannah Tyrell cracked 1-5 on her return to the team, captain Sinéad Aherne looked very sharp and scored 1-7, while further goals from Niamh Hetherton, Orlagh Nolan, Lyndsey Davey and Caoimhe O’Connor saw the Leinster side cruise to a first-day win at Parnell Park.
Aileen Wall and Kate McGrath grabbed late goals for Waterford, while Maria Delahunty was a constant threat, but there was no way back for the Déise county.

From phenomenal individual exploits to coming back better from a devastating knee injury, we chart Aimee Mackin’s rise to the top. By Emma Duffy Tuesday 9 Mar 2021, 8:00 PM Mar 9th 2021, 8:00 PM 41,130 Views 1 Comment
IT’S 2011, AND Aimee Mackin wants to play senior football. She’s just 13.
It’s the first year her Shane O’Neills club are fielding a senior team, and there’s a group of promising players around the same age as Mackin with their noses up to play.
Peter Lynch and his management team’s plan was to leave them off another year or so, happy with the group they had in the opening stages of the season, but the young crew persisted.
Dublin and Naul football star Carla Rowe has her heart set on defending her side s TG4 All-Ireland Senior Championship this year - and feels the lure of a magical five-in-a-row could keep Mick Bohan s panel unified in another uncertain season.

Aimee Mackin is the TG4 Senior Players Player of the Year for 2020
Armagh forward Aimee Mackin has been crowned TG4 Senior Players Player of the Year for 2020.
Mackin (23) was voted best in class by her peers, with the Shane O’Neills player fending off stiff competition from Dublin duo Carla Rowe and Sinead Goldrick to claim the coveted individual award.
Mackin recovered from cruciate knee ligament damage sustained against Cork in 2019 to make a sensational impact during the 2020 Championship.
She scored 1-6 in the TG4 All-Ireland Senior Championship opener against Tyrone, before a 2-7 haul helped Armagh past Mayo and into a first semi-final appearance since 2015.
