Smith: Award is down to team effort

Galway were given a boost today ahead of their NHL Division 1 semi-final against Cork as Portumna attacker Andrew Smith picked up the Vodafone Hurler of the Month award for March.

The half-forward rifled home 2-2 for Portumna as they captured their second All-Ireland senior club hurling title in three years on St. Patrick's Day, thanks to a comfortable final victory over Offaly kingpins Birr.
