Bryan Hayes was presented with the award for Munster GAA Minor Footballer of the Year for 2022.
Bryan was a key player as Cork retained their Munster Minor Football title, even though it did not get off to the best of starts.
In the opening game, Kerry were comfortable winners in Tralee winning by 1-16 to 0-5, the Nemo Rangers player contributing 0-3.
Cork got their season back on track when they defeated Tipperary in the semi-final with a 3-20 to 1-13 win. In this game Bryan really showed his quality scoring 1-5, the goal a real beauty.
That set up a Munster Final with age old rivals Kerry with Páirc Uí Rinn as the venue, and this time Cork produced their best display of the season.
In the end the winning margin was 11 points, 3-11 to 0-9, with Bryan making a major impact scoring 2-3 in a resounding win for the young rebels.
Apart from his scoring prowess, Bryan displayed leadership qualities in all games and is sure to play a prominent part for club and county in the coming years.
