Shining lights in a season that failed to reach stellar heights

Goalkeepers of the Year

Apart from his exuberance in leaving his parallelogram, his shot-stopping was amazing. The primary duty of a goalkeeper is to save shots. In this regard, his performance against Monaghan was outstanding. Monaghan scored 0-19 but would have scored 5-19 if it wasn’t for the Portlaoise man’s brilliance.

But in terms of the best save of the year, the gong goes to Ruairi Lavelle who denied Dean Rock what appeared a certain goal in the Allianz League final.
