GPA awards overshadowed by warning over grant delays

Marc O'Shea and Dan Shanahan are celebrating their own personal doubles.

The Kerry defender and Waterford star picked up the GPA football and hurling player of the year awards last night.

The accolades follow their All-Star player of the year awards last month.

The awards were slighlty overshadowed by Dessie Farrell's speech at City West.

The GPA chief read an ominous riot act suggesting inter-county players' patience is running out fast over the grants issue.
