Delaney scoops GAA awards Down Under

Former Dunshaughlin footballer Fearghal Delaney has added the 'Player of the Year' award he won for his Sydney-based Gaelic football club Young Ireland to a regional All-Stars accolade he claimed Down Under only two weeks ago. 

Delaney, who is the son of well-known Meath GAA official Mairead Delaney, has been working in the Sydney area the past three years while playing Gaelic football for the Young Ireland club. 

Delaney has clearly put in a series of impressive, committed performances as he was voted the Young Ireland  'Player of the Year'. Only two weeks previously he was chosen on the All-Stars Gaelic football team that was selected following the New South Wales state games which were held in Brisbane recently. This is Delaney's second All-Stars award in three years. 

Delaney played under-age football for Dunshaughlin and Meath before he joined many other young Irish people in moving to Australia where he has carved out a new career putting in the infrastructure for a broadband in and around the Sydney area. 

As well as Gaelic football he also plays hurling for the Central Coast hurling team. 

He has also continued with his Gaelic footbabll career - and clearly with considerable success.
