Meath Ladies Football star Vikki Wall was named as the 2021 TG4 Senior Players’ Player of the Year at the annual All-Star banquet, in association with Lidl, at Dublin’s Bonnington Hotel on Saturday night.
Wall was a talisman for the team through their run to what, at the start of the season and even five minutes from the end of their Semi-Final, looked an unlikely breakthrough season.
Wall, who plays for Sean Boylan’s club Dunboyne, was the 2020 TG4 Intermediate Players’ Player of the Year winner and having made the step up to the Senior Championship grade, she was the leading choice of her peers for the individual honour in the elite ranks.
Wall also claimed a first TG4 All-Star award on the night, one of eight Meath players named in the final 15.
Goalkeeper Monica McGuirk won a second award, following her previous success in 2019, while team-mates Emma Troy, Mary Kate Lynch, Aoibhín Cleary, Máire O’Shaughnessy, Niamh O’Sullivan, Vikki Wall and Emma Duggan are first-time recipients.
TG4 All-Ireland Senior Final runners-up Dublin claimed three TG4 All-Star awards, with Leah Caffrey claiming her third, while Orlagh Nolan and Hannah Tyrell are first-time winners.
Cork duo Erika O’Shea and Hannah Looney, along with Donegal’s Geraldine McLaughlin, are other first-time All-Star winners, while Mayo forward Rachel Kearns earns her second award, following her previous win in 2019.
The 2021 TG4 Intermediate Players’ Player of the Year award went to Westmeath’s Sarah Dillon.
She was Player of the Match for Westmeath in the TG4 All-Ireland Final victory over Wexford, and top scorer in the grade with 5-23.
Clíodhna Ní Shé from Carlow was voted by her peers as the TG4 Junior Players’ Player of the Year.
Ní Shé was top scorer in the 2021 TG4 All-Ireland Championships with a remarkable haul of 9-19.
