Offaly footballer Cormac Egan has been selected on the Electric Ireland Sigerson Cup Team of the Year.

The Tullamore player and UCD student has been chosen at number 15 on the Electric Ireland GAA Higher Education Rising Stars Football Team of the Year.

A senior championship winner with Tullamore for the past two years, Egan has helped Offaly to the brink of promotion from Division 3 of this year's Allianz Football League.

Congratulating all the players on their selection, GAA President Jarlath Burns said: “The Electric Ireland Higher Education GAA Championships provided immensely enjoyable viewing, thanks to the players' dedication and talent.
