GREENCASTLE woman Kerry Brown has been named as the Under-16 Women’s International Player of the Year.

Brown, who plays for Sion Swifts in the NIFL, has been announced as the winner of the category at the ‘Three’ FAI International Awards.

The awards were postponed from March due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the winners have now been revealed without a ceremony being held.

In September, Brown netted a cracker for the Irish U17s against Greece and she played a starring role as the Irish side progressed to the Elite Round of the UEFA Women’s Championship qualifiers.

Brown has been a regular feature on Irish squads in recent years and her award is in recognition of her exploits with the Under-16s.
