Four students from MIC have been awarded bursaries in honour of MIC graduate and Tipperary ladies footballer, Rachel Kenneally. The Rachel Kenneally Memorial Award, a bursary scheme funded by Munster LGFA, was announced by MIC last February in honour of Rachel who sadly passed away in 2018 at the age of 26.
Sophie Hennessy, Fiona Keating, Micaela Glynn and Kate Hickey are the first cohort to be awarded bursaries under this scheme with each bursary valued at €750.
At the inaugural presentation of the Rachel Kenneally Memorial Award which was held online last night, President of MIC, Professor Eugene Wall, commended the students for their commitment to ladies football and congratulated them on receiving these awards in recognition of their sporting achievements.
