RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta (RnaG) announced today that the Séamuis Mhic Géidigh Award for player of the 2024 championship in Donegal is to be presented to Shane O’Donnell of St Eunan’s.
The Letterkenny men defeated Dungloe in this year’s County Final and O’Donnell’s performances in the championship were exceptional.
The Séamus MacGéidigh Award is bestowed every year to the player of the championship. The selection is made by a committee of Donegal sports journalists, and Damien Ó Dónaill from RnaG is chairman.
“O’Donnell’s display in this year’s final was excellent, and he played a very important role in the other league games as well,” Ó Dónaill said.
“Shane had a great year with the county and his club. Congratulations to Shane, and my thanks also to the county’s sports journalists who collaborated to select this year’s award recipient.”
Shane will be presented with the award at the St Eunan’s GAA Dinner Dance.
Broadcaster Séamus Mac Géidigh passed away suddenly in 2016, a man who was particularly known for his excellent commentary on GAA matches.
RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta initiated this award in his honour. So far, the award has been awarded to Michael Murphy, Mark McHugh, Odhrán MacNiallais, Ciarán Thompson, Caolan Ward, Brendan Mc Dyre and Óisín Gallen.
