Meath manager John Davis is one of three nominees for the manager of the year award at the 14th annual Camogie All-Stars
The eagerly-awaited banquet, sponsored by Liberty Insurance, will take place in CityWest Hotel on Saturday 4th November with tickets available at €75.
This is the second time that David has been nominated as he was also in the running in 2012 after Meath won the Premier Junior title.
However, he must surely be in the frame to get the nod ahead of Cork's Paudie Murray and his fellow Westmeath man Johnny Greville who guided his native county to this year's Premier Junior title.
