POTY nominees: Laura Hayes, Aoife Donohue and Saoirse McCarthy.

12 for Cork and 11 for Galway as Camogie All-Star nominees unveiled

Cork duo Saoirse McCarthy and Laura Hayes and Galway’s Aoife Donohue have been nominated for Senior Player of the Year.

ALL-IRELAND CHAMPIONS CORK lead the way with 12 nominees for this year’s PwC Camogie All-Star Awards, while runners-up Galway are next in line with 11.

The 2024 All-Ireland senior finalists share the Player of the Year nominations too, with Cork duo Saoirse McCarthy and Laura Hayes and Galway’s Aoife Donohue in the running for the top gong.

In all, five counties feature on the 36-strong All-Star longlist, with semi-finalists Tipperary (seven) and Dublin (four) and quarter-finalists Waterford (two) also recognised.

Meanwhile, the Intermediate and Junior Player of the Year nominees have also been announced.

All-Ireland Intermediate champions Cork have two players shortlisted for the former, Lauren Homan and Emma Flanagan. The Rebels pair will face competition from Danielle Morrissey, having overcome her Kilkenny side by the minimum in the final.

There’s a change to the sequence at junior level, where one player from the All-Ireland champions and two from the runners-up are nominated for Player of the Year.

Tipperary beat Laois in the decider, with Tipp matchwinner Jenny Grace honoured along with O’Moore duo Clodagh Tynan and Aimee Collier.

The ceremony will take place in Croke Park on 15 November, with the 2024 PwC Soaring Stars and Manager of the Year winners set to be announced next Tuesday.
