SuperValu and the West Cork Schoolboys League are delighted to announce the inaugural Players of the Season awards for 2009-10. The WCSL and main sponsors SuperValu have come together to honour the best players in each of the WCSL Divisions from this past season.

The criteria for selection was based on weekly feedback from all the WCSL coaches which was tabulated by Secretary and PRO Ger McCarthy. The final decision for each award winner was then ratified by the WCSL Committee.

A ceremony will be held in June for the award winners and their immediate family members where each of the recipients will be presented with their individual awards by SuperValu and Musgrave representatives. Full details of the awards ceremony will appear on this web site and in the local media during the summer.

It is hoped to make the Players of the Season awards an annual event.
