Máirín (Maureen) McAleenan is an Irish camogie player who is a winner of a number of league and championship titles with her club down through the years.
Playing career
She shot to prominence when her club won the Division 2 league title and the Intermediate Club County Camogie Championship in 1995, scoring 9-35 during an uplifting campaign before that, before helping herself to a total of 1-2 in the Intermediate championship semi-final before posting another 1-1 in the championship final.
There is supposed to have been a co. Lietriom player with a similar name, who is an aunt of running ace Ciara Mageean, however they are not related.
She was play-maker in 1999 when winning her first All Ireland Junior Club Championship, as part of the team that beat St Anne’s Dunhill of Waterford by 4-8 to 0-8. Maureen also featured on the team beaten in the All Ireland junior club final later that year, scoring the club's second point of the game.
