*Seán Glynn with Damian Lawlor.
KILLANENA’s Seán Glynn has been named as the Christy Ring Cup hurler of the year.
Having captained London to win the Christy Ring Cup with a 1-27 1-24 win over Derry in June, Seán capped off the year with not one but two more accolades.
He was named at centre forward on the GAA Champion Team of the Year which is made up of hurlers in the Christy Ring, Nicky Rackard and Lory Meagher competitions.
On Friday, he was announced as the Christy Ring Cup hurler of the year. Glynn scored 2-17 across the campaign for London. It was their second time winning the competition, the last person to captain the Exiles to success was Colm Quinn of Parteen in 2012.
Seán was formerly part of the Clare minor hurling panel and lined out with his club’s intermediate side before moving to London in September 2021 for work at Stansted Airport following COVID-19. He now plays his club hurling with St Gabriel’s in London with the iconic Wembley within their backdrop for training sessions.
Though wearing the green and white of London, he said he still feels as if he is representing Killanena and is conscious of continuing to do the club proud. “For me personally I love the game and have devoted my life to it, when you play a game from the age of four you forget about the sacrifices when you play to a high level”.
