The only ones I can see announced so far.
First Division POTY- Philly Gorman
Well done Stephen Kenny. His fellow managers have recognised his achievement and quality.
how davy sullivan didnt get 1st division player of the year i dont know, top scorer out of both divisions
still fair play to gorman
Well only 3 goals between Philly and Davy and the fact Athlone won the league prob won it for Philly to be fair.
i thought it was gonna be between Aidan collins and davy to be honest,
So did i. Thought Aido should of got it to be honest.
he was the heart of yere defence
I think the fact that Davy was stepping up to LOI whereas Gorman has been around for years is another factor worthy of consideration. I feel Davy was the division's best player but these kind of awards always go to the league winners which is understandable I suppose. Aidan Collins as mentioned above was at least as big a factor in Athlone going up as Gorman was.
Delighted for Brennan. Been nothing but a gent since his move to Pats. Any one of him, Bolger or Towell would have been deserving winners.
Likewise either of Kenny and Buckley would have deserved the managers award.
I'll take your word for that, Dodge but it's difficult toimagine the word gent in a sentence about any of the Brennans. Major meltdown predicted for next season.Quote:

Although I think that Richie Towell is the best player in the league since Keith Fahey, from what I have seen, Killian Brennan has been the Pats stand-out player this season; with Pats winning the title the major award was always likely to go to either Brennan or Bolger.Quote:

Agreed, while Kenny was an obvious choice Liam Buckley has done an amazing job over the last 2 yearsQuote:

Id say there would be a riot if he came to Oriel (In Oriel)Quote:

The 3 games I saw Pats play other players were equally as important for them and in one of those; v Bohs in Inichore he started to act up in the 2nd half when the visitors started to come back into the game. Pats dropped two points that night.
We're they not runners up as opposed to nominees??Quote:

Could be wrong.
Might happen alright. He's been excellent on and off the field for Pats. He might well leave too, but I'll always remember him fondly for this year.Quote:
