It was another big battle for the latest Donegal Daily/Donegal Sport HubSports Person of the Week, in association with O’Reilly’s.

Donegal Women’s League Under-17 player Ciara McGarvey has won this week’s award.

McGarvey polled 762 votes – 36 per cent of the overall 2,140 votes cast.

McGarvey edged out Glenfin ace Karen Guthrie, who received 618 votes.

The U17 Continental Tyres Women’s National League has been a baptism of fire for the Donegal Women’s League in their first voyage into this grade. After some near misses and close calls, the Donegal side earned their first point on Saturday away to Athlone Town.

After falling behind to a deflected first-half goal, Donegal secured a share of the spoils when McGarvey cracked home a brilliant free-kick.

Each weekly award winner will receive a kitbag, a jersey and a half-zip, supplied by O’Reilly’s.

O’Reilly’s Sportswear was founded in 2017 by well-known Twin Towns sporting brothers Steven and Martin O’Reilly.
