Crowley looks to repay Murroe Boher fans for their generosity

Murroe Boher captain Louise Crowley hopes her side can help repay supporters with a win when they play Roscommon’s St Ciaran’s in the Tesco Homegrown All-Ireland Junior Club Championship final on Saturday.

The Limerick side had to raise over €8,000 to travel to Maastricht to play Belgium in the quarter-final and that meant locals dipping into their pockets to send the squad to the Netherlands for three days.

“Belgium had won the European/UK championship and it was our turn to travel so we travelled there to play them,” Crowley explained. “It was a great opportunity for the girls to travel as a team but it was extremely expensive. So the whole parish and community and even donations from America helped us. There was a lot of pressure to come home with a result.
