Tickets are still available from all clubs in the Division and are priced at a very reasonable €10. The winners, chosen from categories in both codes, based on their 2017 performances, will be joined by two more inductees into the South Board’s Hall of Fame.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of these prestigious awards and as per tradition now, ‘The Voice of Tipperary’ Paddy Finucane will reprise his role as MC on the night, in what promises to be a great occasion, so patrons are advised to arrive early.

Young Footballer of the Year 2017: Rian Quigley (Moyle Rovers)

Central to Moyle Rovers’ County Minor & U21 double last year, was the sensational scoring prowess of classy forward Rian Quigley.  A member of 2017 Inter County U17 and Minor panels last year, as well as being part of the victorious South Tipperary Celtic Challenge hurling panel, Rian is fast making a name for himself as one of the top young dual players in the County. A fifth-year student at Cashel Community School, Rian and was a major player for them this year as they came agonisingly close to winning the Munster Hurling B Championship in February against Mitchelstown CBS.  Another South U21 Championship was captured a few months ago, with Rian amassing big scoring totals in every game. Very much one for the present, as opposed to one for the future, one would think it won’t be too long until Senior Success comes the way of the Moyle Rovers star.
