Gabriel Irwin
Gabriel Irwin (born 1 July 1965) is an Irish former sportsperson. He played Gaelic football with his local club Glenamoy and was a member of the senior Mayo county team from 1983 until 1990. Career A shortage of underage activity in Glenamoy resulted in Irwin first playing competitive Gaelic football as a schoolboy with Lacken Cross Vocational School. Here he won consecutive Mayo VSSFC titles as well as a Connacht VSSFC title. Irwin also earned inclusion on the Mayo vocational schools' team and won an All-Ireland VSSFC title in 1982. He later won a Freshers' Cup title with Sligo Regional Technical College. Irwin first appeared for Mayo as a member of the minor team in 1983, after being overlooked the year before. He was also drafted onto the under-21 team that year and won an All-Ireland U21FC medal. Irwin's four-year tenure with the under-21 also resulted in four successive Connacht U21FC medals. He joined the senior team as reserve goalkeeper in 1985. Irwin later m ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

GAA All Stars Awards
The Gaelic Athletic Association-Gaelic Players' Association All Stars Awards (often known simply as the All Stars) are awarded annually to the best player in each of the 15 playing positions in Gaelic football and hurling. Additionally, one player in each code is selected as Player of the Year. The awards were instituted in 1971. Since 2011 they have been presented jointly by the Gaelic Athletic Association and the representative body for inter-county players, the Gaelic Players Association. Each player who receives a nomination is given a medallion marking the milestone. It is considered "the most coveted sporting award scheme in the country". Equivalent awards exist for ladies' football, rounders and camogie. History and procedure Since the 1960s there had been a tradition of annually selecting the best player in each position, in football and hurling, to create a special team of the year.
