Tipperary camogie star wins another accolade with Senior Camogie Player of the Year award

Tipperary's Karen Kennedy added to her accolades for 2023 as she was today honoured by Munster GAA by being voted the Munster Camogie Player of the Year.

Karen was a key player for the Tipperary Camogie team as they won the Munster Final in 2023, winning for the first time in 11 years. Tipperary subsequently qualified for the All-Ireland Semi-Final before losing out to Waterford. Karen was joint-captain in 2023 and was recently named as 2024 team captain.  

Kennedy plays with Thurles Sarsfields Camogie Club and has won Junior A and Intermediate County titles with them. She is the current club captain. Karen captained Tipperary to win Munster and All-Ireland titles at Under 16 and Minor level before graduating to the Senior panel.  

Karen was honoured for her consistent performances in 2023 with her second Camogie All-Star award recently having been previously honoured in 2020. 

Elsewhere, Aaron Gillane of Limerick won the Senior Hurler of the Year award, Eoghan Gunning of Clare won the Minor Hurler of the Year award, Ben Murphy of Kerry won the Minor Footballer of the Year accolade with Castlehaven winning the Club of the Year after their recent Munster success.
