Jack McCaffrey honoured as Footballer of All-Ireland SFC Final

PwC GAA/GPA Players of the All-Ireland Finals in football, Jack McCaffrey (Dublin), and hurler, Kyle Hayes (Limerick), were named honoured on Wednesday.

As an integral part of Dublin’s four-in-a-row team, McCaffrey put in an outstanding performance in the All-Ireland Final against Tyrone underlining his emphatic return from serious injury which he sustained in the 2017 All-Ireland final.

He picked up the Man-of-the-Match award and his performances this season have also seen him nominated for a PwC All-Star and the PwC Footballer of the Year.

Jack along with his Dublin team-mates Ciarán Kilkenny and Brian Fenton have been shortlisted for the Footballer of the Year award.

“I don't think I'm in the running there,” said Jack. “It's a massive honour to be nominated, but I think that award is between the two lads, and fairly justifiably so.

“May the best man win.”

Kyle Hayes meanwhile, produced a match-winning performance to lead his Limerick side to their first All-Ireland Hurling title since 1973.He was the hurling final’s Man-of-the-Match.He was also nominated for a PwC All-Star and the PwC Young hurler of the Year.

PwC has further enhanced its sponsorship of the PwC All-Stars with the development of a new app dedicated to the awards which was officially launched by Uachtarán Chumann Lúthcleas Gael, John Horan.

The PwC All-Stars App will allow GAA fans and the Gaelic games media to keep right up to date with all the latest All-Stars related news while also providing a comprehensive archive of all All-Stars teams from the awards’ inception in 1971.

The PwC All-Stars App will be available to download later this week from the App Store and Google Play Store.
