O’Mahony, Toner and Trimble shortlisted for IRUPA award

Injured Munster skipper Peter O’Mahony, Leinster lock Devin Toner and Ulster winger Andrew Trimble have been nominated for the Hibernia College IRUPA Player of the Year Award.

The trio have been shortlisted by their peers for their displays in provincial and national colours over the past six months.

IRUPA chairman Rob Kearney said “All awards presented on the night are hugely significant, as there is no higher accolade than being recognised by your peers who you go into battle with each week. The Hibernia College Player of the Year Award is particularly coveted as it represents the one outstanding performer in all of Irish rugby as voted by all fellow players”.
