The annual club awards were held in the Harvest Room in the Old Mill on Saturday the 23rd of May.

First up were the women’s team and Chloe Conroy was awarded the try of the season. Ellen Kelly won the award for most improved player, performing incredibly well after returning to rugby after many years away. Then Adriana Silvela won the award for player of the year after another season of consistent hard working performances. Finally captain Lorraine McManus was named player’s player of the year for the second year running. Her tireless contribution off the pitch saw her also awarded the club person of the year award as well.

Next up was the men’s awards and Even Tyrrell was given the award for the try of the season. Eoin van der Grogt was then given the most Improved player award for his excellent season learning the game on the wing. Daryl Keogh won player’s player of the year award, just reward for his attacking threat all season from half back or in the centre. Mick Corrigan was awarded the men’s player of the year award, a recognition of his value as a teammate playing backrow or wing, wherever he’s needed.

Finally thanks to all the Old Mill staff and to Lorraine McManus for organising a great night and also to Adam Nolan and Ste Heaney for taking the photos.
