O'Connor is Downey's Auto Stop/Leinster Express Sports Star of the Month for August

The results are in for our Sports Star of the Month award for August, and Timahoe's Ruairi O'Connor has topped the poll.

The Timahoe attacker was nominated after an incredible display against Courtwood in the Laois IFC, as he scored 5-8 to lead a remarkable turnaround in fortunes for his side.
