Wall was superb in an attacking role for Meath during an historic season which saw the Royal County land the All-Ireland Senior title for the very first time.
The Dunboyne star (23), scored 1-6 for Meath during the championship, and she produced a Player of the Match performance in the famous senior final victory over Dublin at Croke Park on 5 September.
Incredibly, Wall was the 2020 Intermediate Players’ Player of the Year winner and having made the step up to the Senior Championship grade, she was the leading choice of her peers for the individual honour in the elite ranks.

Wall also claimed a first All-Star award on the night, one of eight Meath players named in the final 15. Wall fended off stiff competition from Meath team-mates Emma Troy and Emma Duggan, who’s also a Dunboyne clubmate.
