Tom Ahern crowned January Winner of Waterford Sports Award
Tom Ahern is the January winner of the Waterford Sports Awards, in association with WLR and the Granville Hotel.
The Ardmore man, who celebrated his 25th birthday this week - had an exceptional January, where his stellar performances for Munster saw him sign a new long-term contract with the province and the IRFU. He starred in United Rugby Championship wins against Saracens and Dragons, whilst also playing a prominent role in a European Champions Cup thriller against Northampton at Franklin Gardens. His stellar form saw him earn a call-up to the Ireland senior mens’ squad ahead of their Six Nations clash against Scotland.
Speaking when accepting the award, Ahern said: “I’m delighted to receive this award - it’s always fantastic to be recognised by people in Waterford. I’m based in Limerick but there’s always been fantastic support from everyone in Waterford and in Ardmore and it means a lot so I’d like to say a big thank you to everyone who’s played their part and everyone from WLR and the Granville Hotel.”
