LIMERICK’S GEARÓID HEGARTY and Tipperary football manager David Power have won the respective Sky Sports Gaelic Writers’ Association Hurling and Football Personality of the Year awards for 2020.
Hegarty scorched a trail across the 2020 All-Ireland hurling final, scoring seven points from play as Limerick won their second title in three years. The Writers’ award represents his latest accolade, following an All-Star and the Hurler of the Year award.
Power, meanwhile, led Tipperary to a first senior Munster football championship title in 85 years last winter, sealing a famous victory against Cork in the final.
Power previously guided the Tipperary minors to All-Ireland glory in 2011 – just the county’s second national title at that level – and to back-to-back Munster titles the following year.

Elsewhere, the Writers’ Lifetime Achievement Award was given to to John Knox, the long-serving Kilkenny People journalist and sports editor who retired last year after 46 years with the paper.
The PRO of the Year award went to Tipperary’s Joe Bracken.
