They may not have got their hands on the Brendan Martin cup in September but four Tyrone lady footballers have joined the elite ranks of the game as they were confirmed as All Stars on Saturday night bringing Tyrone’s haul of awards to eleven since 1991.
Drumragh’s Sinead McLaughlin, An Charraig Mhor’s Gemma Begley and St Macartan’s duo Cathy and Joline Donnelly, (the first ever sisters to claim awards in the same team) were all rewarded for a tremendous 2010 campaign that saw Tyrone contest their first all Ireland senior final.
The awards were handed out at a lavish function in Dublin’s City West Hotel on Saturday night.
McLaughlin captained Tyrone this season, while the Donnelly’s and Begley were constant threats to defenders up and down the country as Tyrone tore up the script to reach Croke Park. Gemma of course who claimed an all star in 2007 also collected the Golden boot top scorer award in the senior championship this year.
