GERALDINE MCLAUGHLIN was named as the Ladies Player of the Year at the Ulster GAA Writers Banquet last night in the Great Northern Hotel, Bundoran.
The Termon sharp-shooter, who inspired her club to All-Ireland glory last November, brought her superb form into 2015.
McLaughlin helped Donegal to win a first-ever Ulster Senior Ladies title this summer.
McLaughlin was named Player of the Year by the Ulster Writers, staving off competition from Donegal team-mate Yvonne McMonagle and Armagh’s Aimee Mackin.
The highlight of the night in Bundoran was the John McAviney Services to GAA Award, with 102-year-old Jack Hannigan of the Sean MacCumhaills club the recipient.
