Bourke and Egan among UCC award winners

University College Cork’s memorable 2011 GAA season received further recognition last night as the college handed out its Sport Star awards for the year.

Eleven stellar talents were honoured, including inter-county hurlers Shane Bourke from Tipperary and Cork’s William Egan in recognition of UCC’s win in the Centenary Fitzgibbon Cup and League success. The pair cross camáns on Sunday in the National League semi-final.

The Hall of Fame award was shared between Paul O’Connor, coach to the Fitzgibbon Cup team and Paul O’Keeffe, coach to UCC’s Cork SFC winning squad. Sigerson Cup midfielder Johnny Buckley received the gaelic football award.
