Glittering stars Brown, O�Malley, Willmot and Pramberg
Brown, David O�Malley, and Bodie Willmot, won the major trophies at the club�s 23rd annual awards before a large crowd at Indooroopilly�s Pig �n� Whistle. Brown received her second consecutive club ladies best and fairest award, having already won both the Australasian and Queensland awards this year, and just weeks after returning from the womens rugby world cup in which she became the first Australian in either the mens or womens game to score a hat-trick on debut. She finished the year as Shamrocks leading scorer with 11 goals 20 points, including a personal best of 3-4 in a single game. David O�Malley, a defensive wall and Australasian All-star, became the first player in a decade to win the Shamrocks mens best and fairest award without needing to kick a point. Bodie Willmot, 16, won the coveted Minors best and fairest award in his first year of Gaelic football, scoring one senior goal, and cementing a regular place in the senior team. John Collins became the first-ever two-time winner of the mens most consistent award, having won the trophy previously in 2003 and despite returning this year after 12 months out of the game. Kirby Short is only the second player to win two awards in the one year when she won both the ladies best first year player, and most consistent player awards. Wayne Gallagher in his first season with Shamrocks, finished as sixth leading scorer and won the mens most improved award, while Cameron Thirlway was named the mens best first year player. Kylah Johnston made it two awards in just two years of football, adding the ladies most improved trophy to the best first year accolade received last year. Western suburbs local Bernie Pramberg won the best newspaper article media award, with his feature �The Irish love their footy� published in the Courier-Mail back in May. The national Irish Echo and south west newspaper The Satellite won the media awards last year.
