Award for rising Dublin football star Kilkenny

Dublin U-21 forward Ciarán Kilkenny has been named the Cadbury Hero of the Future at an event which took place in Croke Park today.

The dual player was on the All-Ireland winning team who defeated Roscommon.

With trials for AFL outfit Carlton Blues on the horizon, the Castleknock player has pledged his allegiance to the Dublin senior panel for the summer.
