Shay Given should get the Senior award.
Kevin Doyle has been the only bright light for Irish Soccer abroad this season so he deserves all he gets.

Nonsense. Shay Given has been the only good Irish player consistently over the last year.

Has to be Given, Dunne has done well, but not as well as Given.

FAI Schools International Player
James Chambers - Ard Scoil Lasalle/Shelbourne FC*
Gary Deegan - Chanel College/Shelbourne FC
Adam Rooney - Palmerstown Community School/Stoke City FC

*What a hero this chap is. Played with him on that school team. He was on trial with Aberdeen last year but he decided that he wanted to stay in the eL:)
He is from the Baldoyle area and he has his feet kept firmly on the ground. He's gonna make a name for himself.

James Chambers - coming to an eL ground near you!!

Just for the record his name is Stephen Henderson and he is the Cobh manager and former goalkeeping coach with Cork City. I don't think he ever played in goal for Cobh.
