Conor Murray has been rewarded for his sensational form in 2016 after being named Limerick Sports Star of the Year.
The Ireland & Munster scrumhalf was announced as the overall winner at a gala luncheon at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Ennis Road on Friday.
Murray was a standout performer for both club and country in 2016, and is now widely regarded in the rugby spectrum as the best scrumhalf in the world right now. His form has continued into 2017, as he helped lead Munster to the quarter finals of the Champions Cup.
