Navan O'Mahonys star Stephen Bray picked up the Footballer of the Year for 2015 at the annual Meath GAA awards in the Newgrange Hotel, Navan last night where there was a joint-presentation of the highly-regarded Hall of Fame to David Carty (Skryne) and Jim Gilligan (Dunsgaughlin).

Na Fianna’s Peter Slevin took the Young Hurler of the Year award while the football equivalent when to James McEntee (Curraha).

Given their extended run in the Leinster Club JFC as well as topping the A FL Div 4 table and winning the Meath JFC and Tailteann Cup it is no surprise that

Curraha took the Club of the Yearaward while Trim GAA club took the Ground of the Year accolade.

Kildalkey’s Nick Fitzgerald was named Referee of the Year but was unable to attend while the Most Improved Referee award was presented to Liam Reddy from Duleek/Bellewstown who officiated at some 51 games this year.
