DUBLIN DUO SINÉAD Aherne and Noelle Healy, and Mayo veteran Cora Staunton have been nominated for the 2017 TG4 Senior Players’ Player of the year award.
It's two for Dublin, one for Mayo.
Aherne — who was also nominated for the gong last year — captained the Sky Blues to All-Ireland senior glory for the first time since 2010 in September, while Healy was named Player of the Match on the day.
In her remarkable 23rd season with Mayo, Staunton joins them on three player shortlist. The 35-year-old sharpshooter has recently signed a deal to move to the AFLW, and will line out in the Connacht senior club final replay for her club Carnacon on Sunday.
Of course, all three players are nominated for All-Stars, and if Staunton is to win one it will be a record-equaling 11th to her name.
In the intermediate ranks, it’s two nominees from All-Ireland champions Tipperary and one from finalists Tyrone.
