Young Hurler of the Year – Daire Shine (Kilskyre/Moylagh)

One of the finest young talents in the county, Daire continues to go from strength to strength.  He enjoyed a busy season combining club and county commitments, with his dedication to the cause shining through on the opening weekend of the Joe McDonagh Cup when he lined out in Manguard Park, Hawkfield on the Friday evening in the Leinster U-20 Championship before less than twenty-four hours later, starting at corner back in Ballycran against Down in the Joe McDonagh Cup.

On the club scene, Daire was a key member of the Kilskyre/Moylagh side which ended a famine when defeating Longwood in the LMES Ltd. Division 3 League Final in early July.  He then assumed added responsibility for the JM Food Services Intermediate Hurling Championship following a season ending injury to twin brother Tom but he rose magnificently to the challenge, contributing 3-30 over the course of their six games in the competition, steadily increasing his scoring output as it progressed. Disappointment ensued when his side narrowly missed out on qualifying for the knockout stages, but he helped steer the North Meath side to the B Championship, landing 2-13 across the semi-final and final.
