First Division POTY- Philly Gorman
Athlone Town AFC 1887-2017
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.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
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.

While I think Towell is the better player, Brennan had a great season and was a major factor in Pats winning the league. A worthy winner of player of the year.
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.
It's great to hear that he has become a "gent" - presume this means he has stopped diving, moaning at refs and making red-card tackles / assaults?
Agreed, while Kenny was an obvious choice Liam Buckley has done an amazing job over the last 2 years
Hard to argue with the awards alright,as mentioned already any of the nominees for the main award would have been worthy winners. Brennan is a player opposition fans love to hate but would love in their team. I certainly would love to see him playing for Dundalk.
Kenny a worthy winner of manager of the year. I take Pats fans word for it that Cillian Brennan was the most influential player in them winning the title this year. 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.
