Canning 'shocked' at awards double

Before a crowd of 30,082 in the heat in the middle of a championship summer, Joe Canning warmed Galway hearts with a magnificent haul of 2-12 in an All-Ireland qualifier against Cork, just three points shy of his side's overall tally.

On Friday night, the 20-year-old was once again cast into the limelight as he picked up the Young Hurler of the Year and a GAA All-Star gong.
