Kilkenny and Fenton shortlisted for Player of the Month (April)

The PwC GAA/GPA Player of the Month award nominations for the month of April have been announced. The football nominations are Galway’s Damien Comer, Dublin’s Ciarán Kilkenny and his teammate, Brian Fenton. Kilkenny’s TJ Reid and Paddy Deegan have been nominated for the hurling honour, along with Tipperary’s Jason Forde.

Brian Fenton was instrumental in Dublin’s success throughout the Allianz League, recapturing the title that they missed out on last year. Castleknock clubman, Ciarán Kilkenny, was named man of the match for his efforts in Dublin’s hard-fought win against Galway having scored 0-2.

Damien Comer played a key role in Galway’s performances, in the hope of winning their first football league title since 1981. The Tribesman put up a tough fight and Comer was outstanding when his team came face-to-face with Dublin in Croke Park on April 1.

TJ Reid had a man of the match performance against Tipperary in the hurling final. Reid scored a total of 0-15 on the day. Paddy Deegan was on fire in the same game as Kilkenny won their 18^th league title.

Jason Forde was Tipperary’s stand out player throughout their Allianz league campaign. The full forward notched up an impressive 2-12 in their final encounter with Kilkenny.

The PwC GAA/GPA Player of the Month Award winners will be announced and presented with their award in PwC’s offices at One Spencer Dock, North Wall Quay, Dublin on Monday, April 23.
