Third Player of the Month award for the Reds this season
Shelbourne midfielder Alex Kavanagh has secured the final SSE Airtricity Player of the Month award on offer for 2026 after an impressive October for the Reds which saw them secure Europe on the last day of the season against Galway United and will play in next season’s UEFA Women’s Europa Cup qualifying phase.
It is the third time a Shelbourne player has won the award this season, with Ireland underage international Halle Harcourt and new signing Bella Flocchini preceding Kavanagh’s award.
Kavanagh said she is ‘delighted’ to win the award, topping off a great season with Shelbourne.
Shelbourne boss, Sean Russell added “Everyone at the Club is delighted for Alex on winning the SSE Airtricity Women’s Premier Division Player of the Month. It’s a great reflection of the important role she’s played in the team, the hard work she’s put in and is an award that is thoroughly deserved.”.
