This year's Cadbury GAA Football U21 All Ireland Championship has seen three Down players; Conor Poland, Paul McComiskey and Peter Fitzpatrick shortlisted for the 2009 Cadbury Hero of the Future Award.  Each of these players has been presented with a Hero of the Match award during the season and as a result they are now down to 15 shortlisted players for the Cadbury Hero of the Future Award which will be presented by the GAA President in Croke Park on the 19th May.

Conor Poland who plays his football with Longstone received his Cadbury Hero of the Match award after Down's win over Mayo in the All Ireland Semi Final. Dundrum's Paul McComiskey received his award for his performance against Tyrone while Ballymartin clubman Peter Fitzpatrick was awarded his Hero of the Match award against Armagh in the Ulster Final.

Down fans are encouraged to log onto www.cadburygaau21.com where they can vote for who they feel is the most deserving Hero of the Match.
The Cadbury Hero of the Future Award is selected by public voting  and adjudication from the three Hero of the Future judges - Kildare Senior Footballer Dermot Earley, TG4 journalist Michael O Domhnaill and Paul Caffrey, former U21 Football selector and Dublin senior manager.

The winning player will win a holiday for himself, €1000 for his club and €1000 for his county board. Cadbury are now also offering each of the 15 Hero's of the Match a training kit for their club from this year.

This season Cadbury has introduced a greater level of on-line interactivity for the U21 Championship which will allow fans and media to keep up to date with the latest news, fixtures and results . New elements have been added to the website, www.cadburygaau21.com , including a video and photo gallery section. Fans can contribute their own comments and add their own content via the website, through the championship Twitter channel, http://twitter.com/CadburyU21 and through the Facebook fan page. A Flickr page, www.flickr.com/photos/cadburyu21football , has also been created which allows fans to view a selection of photos from the previous three seasons, as well has dedicated sections on both Hoganstand.com and AnFearRua.com.

To date The Cadbury Hero of the Future Award has been presented to three outstanding players at U21 level to mark their potential for the future and their dedication to the game:

2006: Keith Higgins from Mayo

The pattern so far is that  they award it to one of the Champions.   So probably Cork this year too.  What odds O'Driscoll for his last minute goal to win/steal it for them?
