Man of the Match
Intermediate Football Championship Man of the Match award has been presented each year since 1987. The award was originally sponsored by Longford Oil in 1987, then by Greene & Heneghan Tyres from 1988 to 1990, then by Lakeland Daries from 1991 and finally by Mulleady Group since 2009. This is the first time a list of IFC Man of the Match winners has ever been researched and assembled.
Kevin Mulligan (Mullinalaghta St. Columbas, 2000 & 2007) and Stephen Lynch (St. Marys Granard, 2002 & 2012) have the distinction of winning the Intermediate Championship Man of the Match award twice. Niall Sheridan has the unique distinction of winning Man of the Match in both Intermediate (1994) and Senior (2006) Championship finals – the only player to have won MOTM in both grades. Kevin and Brendan Lennon from Killoe Young Emmets are the only brothers to have won MOTM awards in different grades – Kevin in Intermediate in 1977 and Brendan in Senior in 1987.
