Devon Burns.
A NA Gaeil man is to receive his Munster U20 Footballer of the Year award this weekend at a ceremony in Clonmel.
Kerry U20 goalkeeper Devon Burns was beaten only once during Kerry’s three U20 championship outings this year. He got on the scoreboard in two of those games – Munster semi-final and All-Ireland semi-final – from the dead-ball.
The Munster U20 medal Burns won in 2022 follows on from his selection on the Electric Ireland minor team of the year in 2019 and the leading role he played in Tralee CBS’ Corn Uí Mhuirí win a year later.

He will be presented with his award at Saturday’s Munster GAA awards function in Clonmel.
The citation on the Munster GAA website reads; “Devon works very hard and is always very diligent in what he does on and off the field. As a goalkeeper, he has a great presence in keeping everyone in line and doing the right thing. He is the first to training and the last to leave. Devon displays a huge level of leadership in everything he does, and is another fantastic ambassador for Kerry GAA and Na Gaeil.”
