Rovers striker Burke and Treaty teenager McGuane named Players of the Month
SHAMROCK ROVERS STRIKER Graham Burke and Treaty United teenager Madison McGuane have won the League of Ireland Player of the Month awards for May. Burke was named SSE Airtricity/Soccer Writers Ireland Player of the Month, having been instrumental in Rovers' charge back to the top of the table. The Dubliner scored four goals and provided two assists in seven appearances across the month of May, beating Drogheda United's Conor Keeley and Tommy Lonergan of Waterford FC to the prize. 'I haven't won this award for a long time (2018), but having said that, I am delighted to have won it for the month of May,' said Burke. 'I think it's just the third time I have won the soccer writers award and the last time was back in 2018 when I was capped at international level.

We know as a group what we are capable of and we have a system we play that works well for us. 'The three defeats came early on at the start of the league campaign and off the back of a short pre-season and it took us a few weeks to get up to speed. We have been on a good run lately and we want to keep that going for a long as we can. The team have been performing well week in, week out and it's not just down to me.'

The Ireland Girls' U16 captain has excelled in her debut season at senior level, scoring twice from the penalty spot in May. The Limerick midfielder was selected for the accolade ahead of Shelbourne's Mackenzie Anthony and Wexford's Ellen Molloy. 'Madison has been excellent since the start of the season,' said Treaty United manager Sean Russell. 'She's shown that she is more than capable of making the step up to senior level. 'For such a young player, she plays with great maturity. Her attitude matches her ability and I have no doubt she will continue to develop and get better.' McGuane was named Women's U17 Player of the Year at the FAI International Awards last week, while she recently captained the Ireland U16s at the Uefa Development Tournament in Finland.

Treaty United's Madison McGuane named Premier Division Player of the Month
Teenage star Madison McGuane has been named as the SSE Airtricity Women's Premier Division Player of the Month for the month of May. The Ireland Girls' Under-16s captain becomes the first Treaty United player to win this award after being selected ahead of Shelbourne's Mackenzie Anthony and Wexford's Ellen Molloy. McGuane scored twice in the side's three games last month, both from the penalty spot, including a clinching goal in their win over Galway United, which moved the Limerick club back into the play-off race. The dynamic youngster has impressed with her performances in what is the Limerick native's debut season at senior level. Treaty United manager Sean Russell praised the midfielder by saying, "Madison has been excellent since the start of the season. She's shown that she is more than capable of making the step up to senior level. "For such a young player, she plays with great maturity. Her attitude matches her ability and I have no doubt she will continue to develop and get better." It has been a great month for McGuane as she captained the Republic of Ireland girls U16s in the UEFA Development Tournament in Finland and picked up the women's U17 Player of the Year at the FAI International Awards. McGuane follows Emma Doherty of Galway United and Kelly Brady of Athlone Town as this year's SSE Airtricity Women's Premier Division Player of the Month winners.
