THE NOMINEES FOR the LGFA TG4 Player’s Player of the Year Awards have been announced.
There are three categories – Junior, Intermediate and Senior – with three players nominated in each.
The nominees were voted for by fellow players, who could not vote for anyone on their own team.
Cork dual stars Briege Corkery and Rena Buckley have been shortlisted for the senior award after another stellar season.
The pair teamed up at midfield as Cork collected a tenth TG4 All-Ireland senior crown in eleven seasons.
Both players also featured on the Cork team that won the Liberty Insurance All-Ireland senior camogie championship, ensuring a second successive ‘double-double’ for the Leesiders.
In addition, Corkery and Buckley also won Tesco Ladies National Football League Division 1 honours earlier in the year.
Dublin’s captain and star forward, Lyndsey Davey, is also recognised in the senior category after another brilliant season.
Waterford claimed the TG4 Intermediate All-Ireland championship this year and are rewarded with two nominations including captain, Linda Wall, and her sister and All-Ireland final goalscorer, Aileen Wall.
Despite not reaching the final, Áine Tighe from Leitrim has also been nominated in the junior section.
