D'Arcy wins Leinster award

It comes as no surprise that Gordon D'Arcy has been named the Bank of Scotland (Ireland) Leinster Player of the Month for December.

The 26-year-old said: "It’s always great to be acknowledged for the part you play but even more so when it’s the fans who’ve voted for you. This means a lot."

Gordon was the very first winner of the Bank of Scotland (Ireland) Leinster Player of the Month award when this initiative was launched during the 2003/2004 season.
