Thomas Galligan and Tony Kelly won this month's awards.
CLARE HURLER TONY Kelly and Cavan footballer Thomas Galligan are the latest GAA player of the month award winners.
The pair’s exploits in November have secured them the honours as part of the PWC GAA/GAA scheme.
Galligan caught fire this month as part of the Cavan team that were crowned Ulster champions in glorious fashion for the first time in 23 years when they defeated Donegal in last Sunday’s final.
