Welsh award for Bowe

TOMMY Bowe wrapped up a remarkable double after scooping the Player of the Year award in Wales.

The Ireland wing was named for the accolade by the Welsh Rugby Players’ Association exactly a week after picking up the Irish title.

It is the first time a player has won the award on both sides of the Irish Sea. Bowe, 26, said: “It’s a great honour to win this award, especially as it was selected by fellow players. That makes it even more special.
