THE OPEL GAA/GPA Players of the Month for August have been announced this morning with Kerry’s David Moran winning the football award and Limerick corner-back Seamus Hickey taking the prize for hurling.
Kingdom midfielder Moran, the son of legendary footballer Denis ‘Ogie’ Moran, put in a series of excellent performances during the win over Galway and the two semi-final meetings with Mayo.
Limerick star Hickey, meanwhile, returned from a cruciate knee injury picked up in last year’s All-Ireland semi-final and won the Man of the Match award in their narrow defeat to Kilkenny.
Speaking about the pair, GAA president Liam O’Neill: “Kerry have grown into this year’s championship in fine style and few have epitomised this more than David Moran. He has been a rock at centre-field for Kerry and his performance in the replay win over Mayo in Limerick was one of the best of the season.
“Séamus Hickey has long been one of Limerick’s stand-out performers and his versatility has been a major asset to successive managers from the county,” he added.
“His exhibition against Kilkenny on a most difficult day for hurling was immense and although the result did not satisfy Limerick expectations, his input was something to savour – a fact acknowledged by his peers.”
Egg chasing is so fecking boring. Who likes this rubbish bar a few wasps ??
Ah Ed, surely you can do better than that. That line has been used over and over again by many different trolls. Be a bit original please.
So why bother watching ir commenting?
His Ashton style diving could have cost his team the game. He could easily have made some yards towards the posts for both his tries and given his kicker a much better chance of nailing the conversion. Awesome step and acceleration for that second try though.
Thought the exact same thing. Talented but classless.
It’s just silly. You get your biggest lad to come crash into us then we do the same with our biggest lad. Backward and archaic with little or no skill involved. Guess that’s why it’s mainly a colonial game with little worldwide appeal
Most games are silly and most world wide games are English imported to keep stupid natives distracted while they raped and pillaged their lands. Distracted by playing, watching or commenting on the stupid games. Damn those tricky Brits
Ed what’s ur sport of choice?
Not many comments on your article. Wonder why?
Not many comments on any of the articles on TheScore.ie. Ever since they split the sections into different apps, people don’t seem to bother switching between them.
