And the votes are in….
The end of season awards are upon us and votes have been received in all categories. After various vote rigging attempts and efforts to vote for self and sale of votes (that’s you Jason Northey!) were discounted, the valid polls are complete.
First team player of the year saw votes for seven different players – Stuart Love, Peter O’Toole, Graham Breen, Steve Grier, Dave Browne, Neil McGowan and Alex Kenny.
Second team votes were more concentrated with just four candidates – Martin Costello, Dave (Chopper) O’Kelly , Shane McInerney and Cathal Clancy.
For the over 35s, four candidates have emerged – Gerry Doran, Ken Byrne, Tony Kavanagh and Jimmy Browne.
Clubman of the year nominations include a wide variety of candidates including former winners Frank McNamee, Jason Doyle, Barry Crowe , Paul McGowan and Dave Mohan. Also in the hunt in an effort to put a new name on the award are Mick Greene, Shane McInerney, Stuart Love, Brian Stafford and Dave Browne.
All will be revealed at the awards ceremony, which will be black tie only, to be arranged after we get the cup final out of the way! So get your speeches ready chaps, and no tears please!
