Ryan O'Donoghue Crowned Footballer of the Year | Belfast News

Mayo’s All-Ireland triumph is crowned with seven players named to the Sunday Game Football Team of the Year, led by Ryan O’Donoghue, who’s crowned Footballer of the Year after a dominant season capped by Man of the Match in the final. O’Donoghue’s evolution—enhanced left foot, finishing, tackling, and leadership—plus his boxing background boosting his footwork, made him the standout. Kerry, runners-up, have four selections including David Clifford and Shane Murphy, while Louth, Westmeath, Tyrone, and Dublin each earn one spot. The team features a balanced lineup: full-backs Sam Callinan and Enda Hession (Mayo) and Jason Foley (Kerry); midfielders Conn Kilpatrick (Tyrone) and Jack Carney (Mayo); half-forwards Niall Scully (Dublin), Paudie Clifford (Kerry), and Jordan Flynn (Mayo); and the attack led by O’Donoghue, Clifford, and Kobe McDonald (Mayo). A stellar reflection of Mayo’s championship season and individual brilliance. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
