KERRY’s dual county status could be cemented following the announcement that Kingdom players have won both the GAA.ie Hurling and Football Player of the Week honours.

Firing 1-9 for Kerry in the ten point beating of Laois on Saturday,  Shane Nolan, wins hurler of the week coming away with 51% of the online vote over Cork and Tipperary stars.

Picking up the ‘big ball’ award is David Clifford of St Brendan’s Collage, Killarney, who was instrumental in helping his side win the Hogan Cup beating St Pats, Derry on Saturday and got 59% of the vote ahead of Cavan and Dublin senior players.

Just two weeks ago Kerry’s John Egan picked up the honour in hurling for his performance against Offaly. Long may this success continue.
