25-year-old Cafferky had a glittering campaign and caught the eye throughout, and has subsequently been rewarded with the individual accolade.
The Kilmovee Shamrocks star clocked a total of 5-9 throughout the Westerners’ nine matches but her immense semi-final performance stands out.

Cafferky scored the crucial second-half goal — and her defending was just as impressive — as Mayo edged past Cork and set up a repeat of the 2017 TG4 All-Ireland senior final.
The decider resulted in a 12-point loss to Mick Bohan’s Dublin at Parnell Park, but the attention of Peter Leahy’s charges now switches to the Connacht championship.
They face Galway in the provincial final on Sunday 24 June, and will hope to make amends for a defeat at the same stage last year.
