DESSIE HUTCHINSON, TOM O’Sullivan, Siobhán Divilly and Lisa Casserly are the winners of the AIB GAA Club Players of the Year for 2025/26.
The winners were announced at an event in Croke Park on Friday night where the club football, hurling, Ladies football and camogie Teams of the Year were also honoured.
Ballygunner and Waterford forward Dessie Hutchinson is now a two-time AIB GAA Club
Hurler of the Year having previously been honoured with the overall award in 2022.
This is also his fourth time since 2018 to be included in the club hurling team of the year as Ballygunner collected their second senior All-Ireland title after defeating Galway’s Loughrea in January’s final.
Kerry defender Tom O’Sullivan claimed the football award to cap a dream season for Dingle who were crowned All-Ireland champions after an extra-time battle against St Brigid’s of Roscommon.

The Ladies football award went to Galway’s Siobhán Divilly who played a crucial role in helping Kilkerrin-Clonberne to an incredible All-Ireland five-in-a-row after accounting for Antrim’s St Ergnat’s, Moneyglass last December.
Lisa Casserly was named the camogie Club Player of the Year after playing a star role in defence for Galway’s Athenry who edged out St Finbarr’s of Cork for the senior All-Ireland title after a thrilling replay.
