Sam Curtis and Jess Fitzgerald, also of St Pat’s and Peamount respectively, won the Young Player of the Year accolades, while James O’Callaghan made it a Peas clean sweep with the managerial gong.

Shamrock Rovers’ four in-a-row winning mastermind Stephen Bradley was also honoured, with John Caulfield (Galway United) and Ronan Coughlan (Waterford FC) taking the Manager and Player of the Year accolades in the First Division.
