Garvan Wins Irish U21 Award - Ipswich Town News

Town midfielder Owen Garvan won the U21 Player of the Year category at the 19th Eircom/FAI International Soccer Awards on Sunday evening. Garvan beat fellow nominees Sheffield United's Stephen Quinn, brother of Town's Alan, and his former Home Farm team-mate Darren O'Dea of Celtic.

The award, which recognised Garvan's excellent form for the Irish U21s this season, was announced at Dublin's Citywest Hotel and was shown on TV in Ireland.
