The nominees for this year’s LGFA Players’ Player of the Year Awards have been announced.

ALL-IRELAND WINNING duo Briege Corkery and Geraldine O’Flynn of Cork have been nominated for the top prize at the LGFA Players’ Player of the Year Awards.

Corkery and O’Flynn, who starred in the half-back line as the Rebel footballers claimed their sixth title in seven years, are joined by Dublin’s Sinead Goldrick on the shortlist in the Senior Player of the Year category.

In the intermediate section, All-Ireland finalists Waterford and Armagh are represented with one nominee each. Waterford’s Elaine Power and Armagh’s Caroline O’Hanlon both receive nods, as does Sharon Tracy who makes the shortlist following a fantastic season with Longford’s ladies.

Antrim’s All-Ireland winning captain Clare Timoney leads the nominations in the junior category. Timoney is joined by Saffrons team-mate Kirsty McGuinness while Grace Lynch represents beaten finalists Louth.
