There is no bigger name in ladies football right now than that of former St Paul’s pupil
Aimee Mackin!
Last month, the Shane O’Neill’s attacker collected her biggest individual honour to date as she
became only the second Armagh player to lift the Player of the Year award - after Caroline O’Hanlon.
On the same night she picked up the Goal of the Year award and earned a spot on the Senior Team
of the Year, bolstering an already packed trophy cabinet.
Many of those awards came in the maroon and white colours of her school, as Aimee helped the
ladies team to various Ulster titles and All-Ireland finals. She showed herself to be a leader on and
off the field and was always popular among her peers and the wider staff - and always up for a bit of
craic!
Her resilience, after overcoming a cruciate injury in 2019, has been an inspiration to all and she has
been a brilliant ambassador for St Paul’s, Bessbrook, with humility being at the core of her very
being.
