AIB, sponsor to both the GAA and Camogie Club Championships, has honoured 11 club players from camogie, football and hurling at the 20th AIB GAA Provincial Club Player Awards including Ballyboden St Enda's forward Andrew Kerin.
The selections come after a vote by national and regional sports media - the players were selected based on their overall performance throughout the 2015/16 club season.
In the football, a first Leinster title for Ballyboden St Enda's saw Andrew Kerin receive the Leinster award. Kerin is renowned in Dublin football circles as a model of consistency. He’ll be looking forward replicating his performances when his side line out to face Clonmel Commercials on February 13.
Speaking at the AIB GAA Provincial Club Player Awards, Denis O’Callaghan, AIB Head of Distribution said “AIB are delighted to honour some of the country’s greatest club camogie, hurling and football stars at our annual club player awards. There have been some great games in the competition so far, and I think everyone is looking forward to all the up and coming Semi-Finals over the coming weeks”.
Denis continued: “I would like to take this opportunity to thank the national and regional GAA media for taking the time to cast their votes and for their continued support for the AIB GAA Club Championships competition.”
