RTE sportsperson of the year

Quite a list here of brilliant sports stars. Of course, I will be hoping Cian Lynch wins the award but there are many others I wouldn’t begrudge if they got it.

To have two Limerick men competing for titles like this says a lot about how our year went.

I know they had to have a representative from the Womens hockey team, but the goalkeeper? Weren’t they bate about 7-0 in the final?

Has to be Sexton from that list of nobodies anyway. Apart from Thomas Barr all the rest of them are from niche sports with no more than a handful of followers.

Depends how you define a handful.

Big fan of women’s lightweight boxing are you, kid?

I think it should be given to a person from an individual sport rather than a team sport.

The team sports seem to have a lot of their own awards.

the lad from the gymnastics won a few golds. seems like a good shout

85-90% of the population of Ireland would only recognise Sexton and Taylor from that list.

:smile:

it’s not based on how many people recognize them, mate — it’s about Irish sports persons - if you dont like a particular sport, that’s a different topic… Each and everyone of them fit the criteria. Sexton will win it with ease.

Are you suggesting people will vote for Nominees they’ve never heard of?
