IT WAS ANOTHER bumper weekend of GAA action and more leading performers were recognised for their exploits.
Saturday night’s double-bill of hurling on Sky Sports saw Joe Canning, who struck 0-12, rewarded for his performance as Galway saw off Wexford, and Seamus Flanagan, the Limerick youngster who bagged 0-5, honoured for his display in their draw with Cork.
Yesterday it was the turn of RTÉ’s Sunday Game to provide the coverage with a pair of defenders receiving the honours. Brendan Maher was in exceptional form at wing-back as Tipperary stormed back to claim a draw against Waterford with the Deise pair of Pauric Mahony and Jamie Barron also nominated for their displays.
Earlier Fermanagh had shocked Monaghan late on in their Ulster semi-final with their defensive anchor Che Cullen getting the nod ahead of his team-mate Eoin Donnelly and opponent Drew Wylie.
