First time ever I think they got all the awards spot on!

I'd be interested in seeing what the criteria for "referee of the year" is
I've no issue with either ref who received the award I'm just curious.

For the hurling award i would have gave it to stephen Egan great year he had for tullamore.

yeah not surprised dooley got hurling award but don't think a lad that misses 2 penalties in a county final should get it..... thought egan should have got it...

Stephen Egan deserved the hurler of the year, no question

Just wondering how the handball nomination was secured? Did that young Hope chap not get to a World Final?

As far as I know Michael O'Brien actually won a world handball title this year, can remember seeing a picture of it in the Midland Tribune

some stage during the year. Not saying young Hope didnt get to a World Final, but O'Brien definitely won a World title.
