No Dundalk players in the 1st Div team of the year.:( Probably couldn't argue too much with that although had Shaun Williams stayed fit all season he would have been a cert.

Probably will go to Brian Shelley. He's had an outstanding season.

Has really turned his career around.

Brilliant athlete and on bigger pitches like Windsor Park and Dalymount he really excelled.

Wouldn't argue with either Joe Gamble or Shane Robinson getting it either.

Gamble is just an amazing player. Crazy that he wasn't selected for the B squad.

Gethins for First Division player of the year. I'd have had Davin O'Neill in the nominees though.

if brian shelley doesnt win the senior award it will be a travisty by far the best player in the league this season even at the start of the year he was brilliant at centre back.

how did robbo not make the team of the year??
