One of Mayo\u2019s most successful Gaelic football captains, Hollymount\u2019s Stephen Coen, has today married his long-time love, Charlotte Cooney from Claregalway, in St. Mary\u2019s Church, Bradford, Co. Kildare, before having their wedding reception in Johnstown House Estate.<\/p>\n
Widely regarded as one of the greatest team leaders the county has ever produced, Stephen, who is still a member of the Mayo senior panel, has already had a chequered career on the playing field.<\/p>\n
While he is searching for an All-Ireland championship senior medal, he has had many great days when lining out for Mayo.<\/p>\n
\n
Stephen started playing football at a young age.<\/p>\n
His family farm is based outside the village of Hollymount and it\u2019s only two minutes away from GAA grounds.<\/p>\n
The sports star led both Mayo minor team and Mayo Under-21 team to All-Ireland titles as captain in 2013 and 2016, respectively.<\/p>\n
He also captained UCD to Sigerson Cup success as well as playing for his club Hollymount\/Carramore in the 2015\/16 All-Ireland Intermediate club football championship final.<\/p>\n
\n
Appointed the Mayo senior captain in 2022, Stephen who made his debut in 2015, played in two All-Ireland senior finals, both of which they lost narrowly.<\/p>\n
It looks like Gaelic football will continue to play a huge part in the newly wed couple’s family home as his bride, Charlotte, has also had a long and distinguished career on the field of play.<\/p>\n
\n
With her club Claregalway, she has contested numerous Galway.<\/p>\n
In 2019, she was part of the Galway side that reached the Division 1 National League final and a first All-Ireland SFC final since 2005.<\/p>\n
She claimed successive O’Connor Cup medals with the University of Limerick in 2014 and 2015.<\/p>\n
Back in 2010, the Claregalway club woman was part of the Galway side that claimed the All-Ireland Minor ‘A’ Football title, defeating Donegal in the final.<\/p>\n
In 2011, Cooney won county and provincial medals with Claregalway as they won the Galway JFC title and Connacht Club JFC title.<\/p>\n
In 2013, Cooney won county, provincial and All-Ireland club medals with Claregalway as they went on to claim the All-Ireland Club IFC title.<\/p>\n
The newly weds are wished a long and healthy life together by everyone in Mayo and Galway.<\/p>\n
