Young player of the year

As we come towards the end of another GAA season our minds turn towards awards.My personal choice for Young Player is Mayo youngster Cillian O' Connor.

Agree with you sans. Should win hands down. Quality player. Awesome composure for a 19 year old. Was full sure he would miss that first free in Hyde, with the sheep stealer's booing at him and with the strong wind. Glad he proved me wrong. Just the beginning of a great journey for him. Some lad for one lad I tell yeah that. Future looking bright for Mayo GAA.

C'MON THE GREEN AND RED!!!!!!!

Don't think he'll win it but would Jamie Clarke be eligible?

I would have thought Paul Flynn would be nailed on, however i'm unsure what age he is exactly??

He's 25, too olds I would have thought.

Rory O'Carroll if he plays OK on Sunday would be in witha chance I would think

Petie Harte nailed on cert..

What is the age bracket for to be considered a 'young player'... under 21? Peter Harte is in with a great shout. To step into that team, and play consistantly well as he did, kicking some great dead-balls too. Some pressure for a 19yr old? I think hes 19 anyway..

Rory O'Carroll barring a roasting on Sunday.

He missed any with any pressure on them. The misses were a major factor in Tyrone losing the Donegal game. Anonmyous v Dublin. I don't get it? Good player surely but I just cannot see where the case for young player of the year comes from.

The ones against Donegal had no more pressure on them than the ones he scored in any other games. The game was not in doubt until the two goals at the end. He was brilliant against Monaghan, Longford, Armagh and Roscommon and ended the season with a good tally but he was also the creator for alot of Tyrone scores and set-up quite a few of their goals.
