Deane and Kavanagh win GPA awards

Cork hurler Joe Deane and Donegal footballer Rory Kavanagh have been confirmed as the Opel Gaelic Players of the Month for June.

The 28-year-old Deane won high praise for his performances in helping Cork retain their Munster SHC crown last month. The Killeagh ace shot over eight points in the Rebels' 2-14 to 1-14 final victory over Tipperary.
