Anton Sullivan and Jason Sampson have been named as the Offaly Senior Footballer and Hurler of the Year respectively.

Sullivan, who was recently named on the inaugural Tailteann Cup Team of the Year, starred for Rhode as they wrested back the Dowling Cup from Tullamore, while Sampson was one of the standout performers for Shinrone in their historic SHC success. The pair will be honoured along with the winners in the other categories at a presentation function in The Bridge House Hotel, Tullamore on Saturday, January 7.
