South Tipperary's leading GAA players of the past year will be celebrated

The South Tipperary GAA awards take place in Cahir House Hotel on Friday night, February 28.

This is the first time the awards have been held since 2019 and it promises to be a great occasion.

The South Tipperary GAA Board will honour the hurlers and footballers in all grades from the division who really stood out in 2024.

In total there will be eight current player awards, Senior Hurler (players from senior and premier intermediate teams), Senior Footballer, Intermediate Hurler, Intermediate Footballer, Junior Hurler (players from junior A and junior B teams), Junior Footballer (players from junior A and junior B teams), Young Hurler (Under 19 and Under 21 players) and Young Footballer (Under 19 and Under 21 players).

These players were nominated by the clubs in the division and make up the shortlist of nominees listed below.

A player from the past in both codes will also be celebrated by receiving the Hall of Fame Hurling Award 2024 and for the first time (in memory of former South Board Secretary and President) the Michael O’Meara Hall of Fame Football Award 2024.

The occasion is not just about the players from the division; it will also give the Board the opportunity to applaud the service of referees and umpires, without whom the games could not go ahead.

The inaugural Noel Cosgrave Referee Award will be presented to a referee considered to have made an exceptional contribution to refereeing in the past year.

This award is in honour of the late Noel Cosgrave and will be presented by his wife Anne Marie.

The hard work and dedication shown by former officers of the South Board will also be acknowledged on the night.

Tickets can be purchased from all clubs in the division.

This should prove to be a most memorable event, not just for those who will receive awards but for everyone who is involved in any way in the GAA in South Tipperary.

People are invited to come along and join the Board in the celebration of all that is great in the division.
