THE FAI CUP FINAL between Cork City and Dundalk is still to come on Sunday week but the action in the SSE Airtricity League concludes for another year this Friday night.
As the campaign draws to a close, we want to know who you believe deserves to be recognised as the top performer in the Premier Division this season.
We’ve narrowed it down to six nominees, but feel free to let us know in the comments section if you feel another player has been unfairly overlooked.
With 20 league goals, Sean Maguire fired Cork City towards their first title in 12 years before departing for Preston North End in July. Midfielders Conor McCormack and Gearoid Morrissey also delivered consistently during a memorable season for the Leesiders.
Dundalk finally released their grip on the Premier Division trophy after three years of dominance, but David McMillan was prolific in the box and Patrick McEleney appeared to be running his own goal of the season contest.
It was also a stunning year for Shamrock Rovers starlet Trevor Clarke. Whether he was deployed at left-back or on either side of midfield, the 19-year-old lit up the league.
Who was your 2017 SSE Airtricity League player of the year?
Well done to both of them! Shamefully little coverage on Irish Tv though, even the UEFA Super Cup was deemed more important!
agree fiachra
hear hear.
Watch channel 4 and setanta and stop moaning. Great coverage.
Why the hell have we not heard more about Jason Smyth in the media? He’s a world record sprinter, god knows we don’t have too many of those.
This is brilliant!!! How many statues will we need? The achievements of these athletes easily matches those of our other Team Ireland.
Brilliant! Inspiring! True values..
Just amazing. I can’t help but feel emotional sometimes. These athletes are the quietest, most underfunded, yet give there all & make me proud to be Irish. No disrespect to our normal Olympians but the Paralympics is on another level. Truly inspiring people with more hurdles & obstacles than the Krypton factor & a rubix cube put together.
Should we be surprised ? Not at all.
These true Irish Heroes have always been an inspiration to our tiny Country – they set the standards for the rest of us to live our lives by !
He just missed out on an Olympic spot. It was by a tiny time. It’s a real shame rte are not covering this. That match was pointless rubbish and we’ll see plenty of soccer soon enough.
ran away with it:)
10.54secs! An awesome time. Why wasn’t he there a month ago!?
Great stuff and well done. Very proud indeed ;)
Not from the Paralympics but some of the tekkers in the blind 5 a side is very impressive. No idea how they can do it.
