‘Honoured’ Bowe picks up third award from fellow pros

IRISH international Tommy Bowe last night completed a hat-trick of awards from his fellow players.

The Monaghan star, who rose to prominence with Ulster and Ireland before continuing his development with Ospreys, scooped the top individual award at last night’s Magners League celebration dinner in Cardiff when the players voted him their Best Player of the Tournament for last season.

It is the third honour bestowed on the Irish star by his peers following the professional players of both Ireland and Wales also naming the 26-year-old as their outstanding player of the 2009 / 2010 season.
