Other winners were Andrew Jamieson-Murphy of Na Fianna , Louise Ward of Kilkerrin-Clonberne and Niamh McGrath of Sarsfields crowned a year in which he became the latest player to win dual All-Ireland club medals, adding a football title to the two hurling that he had already won with Cuala, by becoming AIB club footballer of the year.
O’Callaghan played a huge role in his team’s success, summed up in the final when in injury-time, with their lead reduced to three points and under pressure from Errigal Ciarán, he put in a terrific defensive block on Pádraig McGirr to turn over possession and in the same phase of play, popped up at the other end to deliver the scoring assist for Conor Groarke to get the insurance point for a four-point lead.
Also in Galway, Sarsfields won a third All-Ireland camogie title in four years. Niamh McGrath, who gave birth to her first child last year, was named POTM in the All-Ireland final. Others shortlisted for the award were her sister Siobhán and Anne O’Loughlin of defeated finalists, Truagh-Clonlara.
