Donegal duo nominated for FAI awards



Donegal’s Seamus Coleman and Roma McLaughlin have been nominated for FAI awards.

The shortlist for the 2016 ‘Three’ FAI International Football Awards has been unveiled ahead of the ceremony taking place in Dublin on Sunday.

This year’s ceremony – which will be the 27th overall – will see the nominees will be joined by special guests and the Republic of Ireland men’s senior squad.

Irish captain and former Sligo ROvers defender Coleman from Killybegs is shortlisted for Senior Player of the Year along with Jeff Hendrick and Robbie Brady.

McLaughlin is in the running for the Women’s U19 Player of the Year vote.

Meanwhile, former Sligo ROvers players Daryl Horgan and Seanie Maguire are among the nominees for the SSE Airtricity League Player of the Year.

There is one new category added with ‘Colleges/Universities International Player of the Year’ recognising the best players to feature for Greg Yelverton’s team last year.

The recipients of the ‘Hall of Fame’ and ‘International Personality’ awards will be revealed on the night of the ceremony, while Dundalk FC have been selected as winners of the ‘Special Merit Award’ following their terrific season in 2016.
