A Great Weekend For Shelbourne FC (CoolPartner 020) as their Senior and U17 Women Teams Clinch Titles

Last weekend, was an incredible two days for everyone involved at Shelbourne Football Club (CoolPartner 020) as two of their talented women's teams clinched division title wins in two huge ‘winner take all affairs’.

On Saturday, the senior Women's side faced Wexford in their final game of the season, with 3 teams still in contention; Shels on 57 points, Wexford on 56, and Athlone on 55. However, goals from Jessie Stapleton, Alex Kavanagh, Megan Smyth-Lynch, and Abbie Larkin proved to be too much for Wexford as the game finished 4-0. This victory meant that Shelbourne was crowned SSE Airtricity Women's National League champions for the second year in succession.

Then, on Sunday, it was the turn of the younger generation, as the U-17 girls faced Cork City in the Tier 1 final in Tolka Park. After a very tight affair, between two very impressive teams, it was Shelbourne who came on top, after a dramatic 92nd-minute winner from Hannah O’Brien. 

We are so proud to be partnered with these two teams in two very different ways…

We are proud sponsors of the U-17 Women's team, who even before this weekend had an incredibly successful season. They are part of our community teams, as part of this we currently sponsor 4 Shelbourne Academy Teams (U15, U17, U19 Men’s sides & the U17 Women).

As well as this, we are developing (in partnership with Shelbourne Football Club) the world's first forest created in cooperation with a football club. This exciting project is well underway and a location has been announced as Cloudforest 2 in Carrigaholt, Co. Clare. 

This forest, named ‘The Red Wood’ has been growing digitally throughout the year with every goal being scored by the two Shelbourne senior sides (Men and Women) adding one tree to the forest. As well as this, another tree was added for every 500 fans in Tolka Park for every home game this season. 

A huge congratulations to everyone who was involved in these two fantastic wins, especially to all of the ladies & their dedicated coaches. We are so proud to support such great teams.
