Team MVP, MSP and "A" Game awards.

After the dust settled on the pitches of our last games, it was time to think back on the week and decide who should be the recipients of the team awards of Most Valuable Player, Most Spirited Player, and the person who played their "A" game for the week. For the women's team, the deserved winners were:

MVP of the tournament: A close vote, but with a clear winner of Yiv, who handled solidly the whole week, as well as being a real asset when it came to defence, especially anything that went up.

MSP of the tournament: Again a close battle, but this one ended up with win for Linda and Fiona. Both kept everyone going with their constant support, and set an excellent example on the field for how to play with Spirit, sorting out calls with minimum fuss and with the appropriate manner. Both are a credit to the team.

“A” game of the tournament: This was a really close vote, with Dee and Ciara really playing their asses off all week, but in the end it went to Sinead for playing so well on both O and D, and really making her mark on the pitch despite being the least experienced of all of us. Great to have in the endzone.

For the Open team the voting was equally tight in all categories.

MVP of the tournament: This vote was always going to be close with big performances from a lot of players - Cian deserves a special mention along with nearly all the O Line - Niall, Brian, Derryk, but in the end no other player contributed quite as much as Enda. He ran hard, made space, caught big catches and most importantly threw few turnovers. Hag for MVP!

MSP of the tournament: Closer still with three or four players in with a shout but there is only one Gagman! Derryk plays hard and fair and when calls happen reacts honestly and in a polite way - no swearing or hissy fits! He was an example of how to act in tricky situations.

'A Game' of the tournament: From the first game until the last, Softy played excellently. Cool under pressure and strong on D he contributed hugely to the team's success.
