Meath GAA awards: Hurler of the Year

November 28, 2024

Ratoath's Padraig O'Hanrahan

The 2024 Meath GAA Annual Awards winners were announced last night.

The winners will receive their awards at a Presentation Dinner on Friday December 6 in the Castle Arch Hotel, Trim. 

Hurler of the Year – Padraig O’Hanrahan (Ratoath)

Padraig finished the Ted Murtagh Clothing & Footwear, Trim Senior Hurling Championship as the competitions top scorers overall with a final tally of 1-67 over the seven games, giving him an average of ten points per game.  His overall net value to Ratoath on their journey to winning the SHC is showcased by the fact he accounted for 35% of his sides scores in the Championship.  Whenever Ratoath needed a score, Padraic invariably managed to come up with a big moment, whether scoring himself or setting a teammate up for a score.

In what was a challenging season for the Meath Hurlers, Padraic also showed very well, assuming the free taking duties and showcasing his leadership throughout the season.  His finest moment in the county jersey this year possibly came in a losing performance when he registered a remarkable 0-17 against Down in Ballycran, showing unerring accuracy from place balls throughout the game.
