Another award for rising star Henshaw

 

Fresh from being chosen as Connacht's Senior Player of the Year, Athlone's Robbie Henshaw has been further recognised with the Nevin Spence Young Player of the Year award for 2013.

The two awards cap a truly momentous season for the young Coosan man and he'll be hoping that a injury will clear up in time for him to travel with the Ireland Senior squad for the USA tour in the coming weeks .

The winners in the 2013 Hibernia College IRUPA Players Awards are listed below.
