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.

[Strabane_Harp]

Richard Dunne has been the best irish player over the last year

Richard Dunne has been the best irish player over the last year

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

[Tenderloins]

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!!

Adam Rooney - Palmerstown Community School/Stoke City FC

thats Mark Rooneys (just moved to dublin from drogs) younger brother - supposed to be a smashing player

I reckon Wayne Henderson defo deserves an award. He's ex Bohs keeper Dave and ex Cobh keeper Michaels younger brother. he's Shay Givens succesor, lads a class act!

ex Cobh keeper Michaels younger brother.

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.
