St Brigid’s star forward Ben O’Carroll has been nominated for AIB GAA Club Footballer of the Year after the announcement was made for this year’s AIB GAA Club Players Awards.

The Roscommon man has been nominated alongside Kilmacud Crokes sharpshooter Shane Walsh and Watty Graham’s inspirational midfielder Conor Glass.

Also announced were the players for this year’s AIB GAA Club Team of the Year, and after winning Connacht and then coming so close in the All-Ireland final, St Brigid’s are well represented.

The players will be honoured at a special function at Croke Park this Friday, where they will be presented with their awards by Uachtarán CLG Jarlath Burns.
