5 Camogie All-Star nominations for Tipp
Tipperary have received five nominations for the 2021 Camogie All-Stars which will be announced next month.
The Premier County won three All-Stars in 2020, including one for Moneygall’s Mary Ryan who has been nominated again in the full back line. Ereena Fryday has been nominated for the first time at midfield, while in the forwards, Cait Devane has a strong claim to win a second All-Star with Orla O’Dwyer and Roisin Howard also shortlisted.
All-Ireland Senior champions Galway lead this year’s Camogie Association All-Stars Award nominations, with twelve players on the shortlist. Runners-up Cork feature with ten nominations, with six counties across the four provinces represented. Kilkenny, Tipperary, Waterford and Down players complete the 36-player shortlist.
The recipient of the 2021 Camogie Association Manager of the Year is Galway manager Cathal Murray, who guided his team to the All-Ireland summit in September.
The 2021 Camogie Association All-Stars will be announced at a gala banquet at the Osprey Hotel in Naas, Co. Kildare on Friday, 26th November, subject to government guidelines, where the 2021 All-Stars team and Players’ Player of the Year Awards will also be announced.
