Player gong for Gleeson

Leinster wing forward Keith Gleeson is the latest winner of the Bank of Ireland Leinster Player of the Month for January.

It is a testament to Gleeson's professionalism that he has maintained his impressive form despite being ignored by Ireland coach Eddie O'Sullivan.

"I would like to say a big thank you to the Leinster supporters who nominated me for this award. It's a great honour to receive this, especially when all the team have been putting in such good performances recently," he said.
