League title already wrapped up by goal-hungry Catholic Institute

“Insta by the grace of God” is their club slogan, but Catholic Institute certainly haven’t needed any divine inspiration this season.

At a time when most clubs are still shaking off Christmas cobwebs and planning for a cup run, the Limerick ladies have the Munster Senior League title sewn up.

Co-captain Christine O’Shea had the honour of hitting the insurance goal against a resolute Cork Harlequins at Rosbrien on Saturday — after Nikki Sterritt had broken the deadlock. That secured a 2-0 win — their ninth from as many outings this term, with 50 goals scored and just three conceded.
