Stellar students to be honoured at glittering UCC awards night

A Six Nations standout, All-Ireland winner, GAA All-Star, and an International Rules debutant are sprinkled among a stellar collection of 11 sporting talents to be recognised for their achievements in the past year by UCC this evening.

First year Finance student Jack O’Sullivan has raised plenty of knowing eyebrows this year with his displays in the back row for the Ireland Under 20 side in the Six Nations, picking up man of the match awards in two of the five games against Wales and Scotland. The ex-PBC skipper has also been an impressive force at No 8 for College in Division 1B of the All-Ireland league this season.

“The thing you’ve got to say is that consistency of performance is the biggest thing for him now. He has taken his opportunity. He has been a huge bonus for us,” said Ireland Under 20 coach Noel McNamara.
