Steven obrien win gaa gpa opel player of the month award
Tipperary footballer Steven O’Brien has picked up the GAA/GPA Opel Player of the Month award for May.
O’Brien produced a masterclass from midfield for Tipp as they crushed Munster rivals Waterford on a scoreline of 1-24 to 0-5. Not only did O’Brien bag 0-6 from play, he also set the tempo of the game and provided a platform from deep for his forwards to shine. The Premier County now have a Munster semi-final with Kerry to look forward to, which will take place in Thurles on Sunday, June 14th.
Speaking at the awards Steven O’Brien said; “While it is great to be recognised individually with this GAA/ GPA Opel Player of the Month Award, it was very much a team effort against Waterford that saw us through to the semi-final. Kerry are a formidable force, so for us now the focus is on preparing for that huge task ahead against the All-Ireland champions next Sunday.”
