Lismore’s Iarlaith Daly nominated for GAA Young Player of the Year

Lismore GAA Club got the best possible start to 2021 with the announcement that the PwC GAA/GPA Young Hurler of the Year Award will be voted on between Waterford’s Iarlaith Daly (Lismore), Kilkenny’s Eoin Cody (Ballyhale Shamrocks) and Tipperary’s Jake Morris (Nenagh Éire Óg).  Iarlaith was an integral part of Liam Cahill’s Waterford panel last year when he made a number of appearances throughout the season, the biggest of which when he had to replace the injured Tadgh de Burca in the All-Ireland Final.  He made another valuable contribution V Kilkenny in the semi-final. We also wish Stephen Bennett the very best on his nomination for the PwC GAA/GPA Adult Player of the Year.  Both players developed their skills under the stewardship of Séan Prendergast in Bunscoil Bhothar na Naomh Lismore and it is a testament to his efforts at primary school level to continuously produce players of this calibre.  Rumour has it that he has another few destined for senior hurling in the not too distant future!
