Champions pick up seven All Stars

All-Ireland camogie champions Galway dominated the 2013 All Star team, picking up seven awards at Saturday evening’s banquet in Dublin.

Goalkeeper Susan Earner, defensive trio Sarah Dervan, Lorraine Ryan and Therese Maher, along with midfielder Niamh Kilkenny, centre-forward Niamh McGrath and corner-forward Ailish O’Reilly were all rewarded for their exploits this summer.

Player of the match in September’s final, Maher collected her fifth All Star, while it was a first award for 19-year old O’Reilly who scored the crucial goal in the final. Tribes boss Tony Ward picked up Manager of the Year for his double-winning efforts.
