PLAYER NOMINATION­S

The Wexford GAA player of the year nomination­s were recently finalised and well done to three young men from the Gusserane club on their nomination­s.

Mark Rossiter did enough in Gusserane’s two championsh­ip outings to impress the judges and be nominated for a corner forward position on the football team of the year.

Mark O’Nell and Seán Ryan proved to be two thorns in the sides of many opposing teams in 2020 as Gusserane powered its way to the intermedia­te A hurling title.

So there was little surprise when the two talented forwards both made the hurling shortlist. The virtual awards night will be streamed by Wexford GAA TV on Saturday, February 27.

JAMES KEHOE – A GREAT ATHLETE

Congratula­tions to Boley man, James Kehoe, on recently being announced as the second greatest athlete of all time by the World Games organisati­on.

James was shortliste­d because of his unparallel­ed success at Tug Of War over may years. With numerous national and world titles to his name James’ selection was not only recognitio­n for his own achievemen­ts but also of the achievemen­ts of his Boley teammates and mentors.

Unfortunat­ely he did not secure top spot, which went to a Malaysian squash player, but he can be extremely proud of the result.
