She was one of 11 camogie, football and hurling stars to receive accolades at the annual AIB Provincial Club Player Awards yesterday.
Eimear McDonnell scooped the AIB Munster Camogie Club Player of the Year award thanks to her performances for Burgess Duharra in 2016.
Accepting the award she said “Winning the Tipp title and beating Borrisoleigh in a replayed final to win it was probably the highlight of the year for me. We had lost the Munster semi to Milford in extra-time last year and they went on to win the All-Ireland. That kind of drove us on so winning the Munster title was also huge for us.”
She continued, “It’s always nice to get an individual award but I feel like I’m accepting the AIB Munster Camogie Club Player of the Year award on behalf of the whole Burgess-Duharra team, all the players, mentors and committee, all the people who work for the good of the players and the club. Winning this award is like a thank you to all of them!”
