I’ll always be a Red, pledges Peter O’Mahony

Munster captain Peter O’Mahony collected his province’s player of the year award for the first time and pledged “this will always by my club”.

The 29-year-old Ireland flanker had been nominated for the award by team-mates alongside Tadhg Beirne and Joey Carbery. Following an outstanding campaign which has seen him lead Munster to the Heineken Champions Cup semi-finals and Guinness PRO14 play-offs and play some of the best rugby of his career for both province and country, O’Mahony topped a public vote to collect the award in Limerick, seven years after winning the Young Player award.
