2. Dean Carew (Upperchurch Drombane) The designated man marker, Carew was in top form throughout the championship. Touch tight and abrasive in possession, he added the edge to his side's defensive effort.

3. Keith Ryan (Upperchurch Drombane) A player that played a real captain's role throughout the year. Ultra consistent, along with Carew he left very little openings in the campaign and was a big reason that only four goals were conceded throughout.

4. Scott Hogan (Carrick Swans) Carrick Swans had a mean defensive output this year and again, Hogan was the forefront in the full back line. Ultra steady all year, he did the simple things well and gave the team an assuredness at the back.

5. Jack Collins (Ballina) A powerful performer throughout the year, Collins brought his form on with every passing game. Finished with 1-6 throughout the year while playing a deep role from midfield, and just brought massive athleticism to the team.
