All-Ireland Ladies Club SFC: 'Future is bright for St Erngat's Moneyglass' despite final defeat
Few would have expected the five-in-a-row Antrim champions to even reach the grand stage of Croke Park at the start of the year.They finally claimed a first Ulster title in November with an emphatic 3-10 to 0-6 final victory over Errigal Ciaran.With confidence high, they then sprung a surprise in the All-Ireland semi-finals as they edged past Kilmacud Crokes 1-12 to 1-10.Overcoming fellow history makers Kilkerrin proved a step too far this year, but Curran was keen to reflect on a successful campaign and feels his players will be driven to come back stronger next year."Hopefully it is the start of something. It is a very young team and a very young group, and you'd like to think there is more to come," he continued."We're immensely proud of what the girls have done, they have brought a lot of pride to the parish, to Antrim and the province. It was a big scalp to get past Kilmacud and even Clann Eireann in the Ulster semi-final."When the dust settles and they look at their Ulster medals, hopefully they will feel proud of what they've done. Getting the Ulster monkey off our back was huge this year and that will surely give us a bit of confidence. I think the future is very bright for Moneyglass."
