Eoghan is a very worthy winner having been nominated with some regularity over recent years and is well known for his competitive & fair style of play. He has also been a great captain & ambassador for his club and his team at Clontarf.

Clontarf also had the most individual nominees this year.

This award is presented annually to the player (voted by all the clubs with teams in the IBI Corporate Finance Open Competitions Premier League & Championship) who has demonstrated the highest standard of sportsmanship and played within the spirit of the sport throughout the season.

The award is in memory of the late John Dawson, who was a long-serving and dedicated Honorary Secretary of Cricket Leinster over many years.

Eoghan will receive his Award at the CL Awards Night & Gala Dinner on Friday 19th January in the Round Room at the Mansion House. All individual and team awards will be presented on the night. We are expecting a full house with tickets still available for purchase:
