Shamrocks star Joey Holden was named AIB Club Hurler of the Year at a ceremony in Croke Park on Friday night.

The surefooted full-back collected his fifth AIB GAA All-Ireland Hurling Senior Club medal this year, adding to an already stellar career with the club.

 A physical and incredibly consistent player, Holden has been a standout for the Kilkenny outfit from the full-back line this season.

The Shamrocks overcame last year’s AIB GAA All-Ireland Hurling Club champions, Ballygunner, in the semi-final and Dunloy of Antrim in the final on their road to glory.

Holden’s consistently dominant performances, and his influential leadership both on and off the pitch, have been central to the Kilkenny club’s ninth All-Ireland title.

Holden overcame club teammate Adrian Mullen and Ballygunner goalkeeper Stephen O'Keeffe to claim the award.
