Laura Hayes and Cork dominate Camogie All-Star Awards
Cork's Laura Hayes has been crowned the PwC GPA Camogie Senior Player of the Year at the PwC Camogie All-Star Awards in Croke Park.
Cork claimed eight All-Star awards in total, while Glen Dimplex Senior All-Ireland Championship runners-up Galway won five All-Stars.
Tipperary and Dublin both came away with one award each for Premier captain Karen Kennedy and Sky Blues defensive ace Claire Gannon.
Cork’s Ger Manley was named Camogie Manager of the Year, recognising his outstanding leadership and achievements with the county.
Having only been appointed in November 2023, he continued to lead a strong Cork team to a three-point win against Galway in the final, making it their 30th All-Ireland senior camogie title, and their second in a row following their 2023 success under Matthew Twomey.
The 2024 PwC Camogie Soaring Stars team is made up of teams from the Premier Junior and Intermediate Championships, and is compiled by a dedicated All-Star nomination committee to celebrate the high performance and commitment of these extraordinary players.
The team includes six Cork players, four Kilkenny players, two Laois players, and one each from Offaly, Kerry and Tipperary.
Congratulations to our PwC Camogie Soaring Stars Team of 2024!
What a fantastic group of talented athletes who are very deserving of their awards this evening. Well done to all.
