Although their respective county's championship challenges were ended at Croke Park yesterday, Monaghan's Tommy Freeman and Waterford 's Dan Shanahan were today named the Vodafone GAA All Stars Players of the Month.
This is the third time that Shanahan has been selected as Player of the Month. He was first chosen in May 2004 and collected his second award twelve months ago. He has also been chosen as an All Star on two occasions, in 2004 and last year.
"This has been a wonderful championship season for Waterford and Monaghan," GAA President Nickey Brennan said today. "Dan's displays have captured the imagination of the whole country and Tommy's contribution to Monaghan's great form has been immense."
