Galway's Farthing chosen as Minor Player of the Year

Galway's Tomás Farthing has won the Electric Ireland Minor Player of the Year after being chosen as one of six players from the county in the team of the season.

Beaten All-Ireland finalists Mayo have four players represented.

Ulster finalists, Derry have two players while Tyrone, Kerry and Dublin each have one player on this year’s team.

Farthing was at the heart of the Galway defence throughout the season and proved to be a pivotal player for the Tribesmen, winning player of the match in the semi-final and decider.

GAA president Larry McCarthy said "I am delighted to, once again, have the opportunity to extend my congratulations to the Electric Ireland GAA Minor Football Team of the Year, with a special mention for Tomás Farthing, the well-deserved recipient of the Minor Football Player of the Year.

"Fans turned out in large numbers to support our minor players this season and we were fortunate to see the skills of these outstanding players. I look forward to watching the next chapter of their playing careers."
