Roscommon's James Fitzpatrick among the winners in EirGrid under-20 awards

Players and managers from the four provinces have been honoured with provincial awards as the EirGrid All-Ireland Under-20 Football Championship reaches its climax.

Roscommon and Offaly will meet in Sunday’s final at Croke Park and managers and players from both counties have been honoured, as well as those from Down and Cork after they won the Ulster and Munster Championships respectively.

Roscommon’s James Fitzpatrick has won the Connacht Player of the Province award with Jack Bryant (Offaly), David Buckley (Cork) and Charlie Smyth (Down) the respective winners for Leinster, Munster and Ulster.

Similarly, Liam Tully (Roscommon), Declan Kelly (Offaly), Keith Ricken (Cork) and Conor Laverty (Down) have won the managerial awards for each province.

Roscommon qualified for the final after a six-point win over Down last Saturday while Offaly saw off Cork with five points to spare seven days earlier.
