NOW THAT THE inter-county season is well and truly over, it’s time to choose the Hurler of the Year.
Kilkenny’s TJ Reid will be a firm favourite after the Ballyhale clubman’s exploits helped Brian Cody’s side to yet another All-Ireland. Reid’s goal and dominant second-half display in the decider against Galway were crucial in deciding the destination of the Liam McCarthy trophy.
Richie Hogan is aiming to create history by becoming the first player to win back-to-back Hurler of the Year titles. Only a single player has won the award on more than one occasion (Henry Shefflin in 2002, ’06 and ’12).
Tipperary forward Séamus Callanan is the other player in the running. The Drom-Inch clubman finished the championship with a scoring tally of 5-20, including a highly impressive 3-9 (3-4 from play) in the one-point defeat to Galway in the All-Ireland semi-final.
The award will be voted on by the inter-county playing body over the coming weeks, with the winner announced at the Opel All-Stars banquet on November 6.
So who do you think will be the 2015 Hurler of the Year?
Let us know.
Zeebs; the flick up against Wales was no fluke.
Yes. And over running his position was no mistake either. Hang on a second.
I believe he is good at making a mess on Conor Murray.
Larry. Being a perverse creep suits you.
Wasn’t too skillful at making the Lions Test team last summer. Had more joy with his scrum half mate a few weeks later back in Dublin.
He who trolleth too obviously gets ignordedeth.
Any naught players make the lions lately?? EVER!
The little green man at work in Leinster mr keano.
For the Love of God Robson you’re just boring at this stage.
Sources tell me that he’s crap at pitch and toss ;-)
Me hole!
I heard he’s crap at not thinking alot of himself.
Jeeeze Eugene you really dislike the guy don’t you?
Paddy he is just a Leinster boy
Get picked in November Zeebs!
Zeebs!!!!!
All that skill but can’t defend and poor work rate.. Pity
Bit like Robnoxious Kearney so!
Flash is it quite possible you are obsessed with Kearney?
Get a grip lad! He is Ireland’s best 15 by a mile!
Personality wise I can think of other players for notable mention!
Should have been at Toulon game in H.Cup semi unreal try saving tackle from Zebo! The lad can tackle!
He can’t tackle – simples – j Payne will give him a good run for no 15 !
Joe Schmidt doesn’t rate Zebo and that’s good enough for me.
At my club last week joe Schmidt made it very clear that Zeebs is a player who is in strong contention for November…wouldn see joe as a guy to include some lad he doesn rate!
He is more than boring I’d say he wouldn’t know a rugby ball from a Hurley , probally drinks in an all Leinster pub.
Still can’t tackle
Ending up playing football for ireland must be about 50 times harder to do than end up playing rugby for ireland .. And for countries where rugby is barely played it must be 1000s of times easier .. And yet, the media rarely gives stick about any irish rugby player but gives out about the irish footballers all the time .. What gives? The Irish rugby players can’t *all* be great all the time? Also, a lot of lads who end up playing for ireland knew each other in secondary school .. This isn’t the case for the soccer team and gives an indication of what a small circle of the population are ever likely to contribute players to the rugby team …
So yeah .. Better comment on the video now … It was a good video
How can playing roundy ball be harder than rugby? Is there one Irish player playing at champions league level?
Where are Ireland ranked at falling over sorry I ment soccer?
Go back to your mammy and try not hurt yourself
