Wicklow boy Drew Mernagh (14) tops Kennedy Cup goal-scoring charts
Mernagh scored seven goals in just 180 minutes of football to claim the Golden Boot
The name Mernagh has long been synonymous with the pinnacle of Wicklow sport. Messrs Anthony, Barry and Nicky have practically done it all – represented Wicklow, played for Bray Wanderers & dominated GAA championships and Wicklow soccer.
But now there's a new sheriff in town – Barry's son Drew. The 14-year-old shot to stardom last week as he became the joint top goalscorer at the prestigious Kennedy Cup competition in Limerick. It is the first time in history that someone from the Garden County has won the golden boot.
