Donegal's Niamh McLaughlin scoops LGFA Player of the Year award

All-Ireland champions Meath receive six All-Stars, with five for beaten finalists Kerry, at 2022 end-of-season bash.

DONEGAL CAPTAIN NIAMH McLaughlin was named Senior Players’ Player of the Year at the TG4/LGFA All-Star awards in Dublin on Saturday evening.

The midfielder also claimed her first All-Star award but was Donegal’s sole representative on the senior selection, which was dominated by All-Ireland champions Meath with six players and beaten finalists Kerry with five.

Mayo and Armagh completed the senior selection with two All-Stars and one respectively.

Laois forward Mo Nerney was named Intermediate Players’ Player of the Year after racking up an impressive 5-31 in the championship, while Fermanagh forward Bláithín Bogue took home the Junior prize.

In total there were eight first-time All-Stars, while three players — Meath goalkeeper Monica McGuirk, Armagh forward Aimee Mackin and Kerry forward Louise Ní Mhuircheartaigh — won their third awards.
