U20 champions Kildare have dominated a selection of the leading 20 players from this year’s All-Ireland series.
The worthy recipients of the awards were selected in conjunction with the Gaelic Writers Association.
Kildare defender James McGrath has been named EirGrid U20 Player of the Year. The Athy man, part of the U20 Kildare team who narrowly lost last year’s final, marshalled Kildare’s defence helping the Lilywhites win their second EirGrid U20 title in five years after a hard-fought victory over a spirited Sligo side at Breffni Park.
