IRELAND and Arsenal star Katie McCabe is the 20th winner of the Irish Times/Sport Ireland Sportswoman of the Year award.

In a year in which they came agonisingly close but took home no major international medals, Irish sportswomen still continued to make considerable and ever-rising marks on the world stage and McCabe faced stiff competition from the likes of record-breaking track stars Rhasidat Adeleke and Ciara Mageean (both fourth at World Championships) and Katie Taylor, a previous five-time SWOTY winner whose comeback victory over Chantelle Cameron in last month’s thrilling world super lightweight title rematch, was arguably the greatest of her storied career.
