Nash and O'Leary claim honours at Munster Rugby Awards

The performances of John Hodnett and Muirne Wall were also recognised

CALVIN NASH and Maeve Óg O’Leary have been recognised at this evening’s Munster Rugby Awards.

Nash and O’Leary won the respective Men’s and Women’s Player of the Year awards.

27-year-old winger Nash enjoyed an excellent season that saw him score six tries in 18 appearances for Munster — the impressive form led to an Ireland call-up as he started every game in the Six Nations and summer tour of South Africa.

24-year-old back-row O’Leary started all four matches for Munster in the 2023/24 Women’s Interprovincial Championship and scored two tries.

She also featured in the historic clash against the Barbarians at Thomond Park before representing Ireland in the WXV3 competition.

John Hodnett and Muirne Wall were also recognised, winning the men’s and women’s editions of the Supporters’ Player of the Year award.
