Merit award for retired star Lawn

Retired Tyrone defender Chris Lawn has been voted the winner of the Ulster GAA Writers/Tennent's Monthly Merit award for September after helping the Red Hands to a second All-Ireland title in three years.

The 34-year-old Moortown back came on as a substitute with little over 20 minutes remaining in last month's final against Kerry to help steer Mickey Harte's men to glory.
