Two Donegal players among Irish News All-Star Award winners

written by Chris McNulty January 22, 2021

TWO Donegal players were included among the Irish News Ulster All-Star Award winners last night.

Hugh McFadden and Jamie Brennan were named in a side dominated by Ulster champions Cavan.

Galligan was one of 12 Breffni players ames in the fifteen. Cavan’s victory over Donegal sealed a first Ulster title since 1997.

McManus is the only player from a county other than Ulster finalists Cavan and Donegal to be named.

Last night, the awards were held remotely, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and were hosted by Lynette Fay.
