KEITH ANDREWS: Polish win opens up our options ahead of key games

Last weekend I was fortunate enough to be given some time off from the club to get home to Dublin for a couple of days. After a welcome opportunity to meet up with friends and family, on Sunday evening I made my way to the RTÉ studios for the FAI awards ceremony, having been nominated as the senior player of the year for the second year in succession.
Last year, Richard Dunne was, rightly in my opinion, given the accolade and I was delighted to have even been nominated. This year, I was nominated alongside Kevin Doyle and James McCarthy, so when I found out I had won this prestigious award, I was obviously over the moon.
