Cockhill’s Gavin Cullen among FAI Award nominations

 
The nominees for the 2016 Three FAI International Awards have been announced ahead of the award ceremony on Sunday, March 20.
Robbie Brady, Wes Hoolahan, and Jonathan Walters are all in the running for the Senior International Player of the Year – neither of whom have won that award yet.
In the mix for the Three International Goal of the Year is Robbie Brady’s strike away to Bosnia & Herzegovina, Shane Long’s match-winner against Germany, and Jonathan Walters’ goal at home to Georgia.
For the SSE Airtricity League Player of the Year, it is three men who helped Dundalk clinch the domestic double last year with Andy Boyle, Daryl Horgan, and Richie Towell all up for the award.
Cockhill Celtic’s Gavin Cullen has been nominated in the Intermediate Player of the Year category alongside Noel Murray (Crumlin United) and Kenneth Hoey (Rockmount).
