Award winner Gethins relishes Premier challenge

FINN Harps striker Conor Gethins has been named the eircom/Soccer Writers Association of Ireland Player of the Month for November.

Gethins, who has also just been named the PFAI’s First Division Player of the Year, picks up this latest award after three of his goals helped Harps back into the top flight at the expense of Waterford United in the promotion/relegation play off.

“I wasn’t expecting it whatsoever and I’m very surprised,” said Gethins, who finished the season as top scorer, with 15 goals, in the First Division.
