Tyrone’s Teamtalk All-Star award nominees in ladies football, hurling, camogie and handball announced

The 3rd Annual Teamtalk Tyrone All-Star Awards, scheduled
to take place on Friday 8th December in The Great Northern Hotel
in Bundoran, has really captured the imagination of the O’Neill
County public in recent weeks. In the past few week there have been
thousands of votes registered in all gaelic games codes within the
county and last Tuesday the final 50 nominees for the prestigious
Tyrone All-Star Club football team for 2006 were announced.

On Friday the final nominees for the Individual All-Star Awards
in Ladies football, Hurling, Camgoie and Handball were made public
and has certainly provided plenty of food for thought ahead of the
final announcement of award winners at the eagerly awaited Gala
Banquet. In ladies football there are five awards down for decision
on the night with a total of 17 players from 11 clubs accross the
county eyeing that much sought after title of ‘Player of the Year’
in their respective grade.

At county level the five players to make the shortlist are county
captain Maura Kelly, Siobhan McGarvey, Lynda Donnelly, Sinead McLaughlin
and goalkeeper Elaine Mallaghan. McGarvey isn the only player to
also make the final 5 shortlist in the ‘Ladies Senior Club Player
of the Year’ category. The Errigal Ciaran star will be up against
Carrickmore duo Gemma Begley and Roisin Rafferty as well as Dromore’s
Orla O’Neill and Cathy Donnelly of St. Macartan’s. There are three
different clubs in contention for both the Junior and Intermediate
awards with Caroline Kelly (Moy), Carla McGarrity (Fr. Rock’s) and
Orla Toner (Loughmacrory) vying for the Intermediate award. At Junior
level Aisling Hagan (Beragh), Ciara Curran (Ardboe) and Catriona
McGahan (Galbally) are in line for the honours.

Three of the most exciting young players in the province are hoping
to pick up the ‘Young Ladies Player of the Year’ award. Last year’s
winner Sarah Connolly (Errigal Ciaran) has made the shortlist again
along with Neamh Woods (Drumragh) and Roisin Rafferty (Carrickmore)
who is also in line for the senior club player of the year award.

All ladies football followers now have a final chance to have their
say in deciding which of the above players could come away with
their individual coveted prize. Voting will continue now only for
the shortlisted players mentioned and votes can be made by email

In Camogie there will be 7 players in attendance on the night in

of the Year’ award along with last year’s winner Aisling Corr (Derrytresk)
