Morris awarded GPA/GAA Player of the Month award

Jordan Morris has been named as the GPA/GAA Footballer of the Month for June.

Jordan Morris has followed in the footsteps of his teammate Mathew Costello and has been named the GPA/GAA Footballer of the Month for June. It is the second time this year that a Meath player has recieved the award after Costello took the honour in April.

Morris' wizardry at corner forward helped the Royals earn two superb victories this month over Kerry and Galway which has booked their aspot in this year’s All-Ireland semi-finals agaisnt Donegal on Sunday.

After what many thought was a season ending injury for Morris earlier this year in the Leinster Championship, he has fought back to be Meath’s star attacker.

Morris scored two points as Meath defeated the Kingdom in the All-Ireland Championship for the first time since 2001.

In the All-Ireland quarter-final against a heavily favoured Galway side, Morris gave a man of the match performance, scoring 1-6, 1-2 of that tally in the decisive final minutes of the game as the Royal County set up a semi-final date with destiny.
