Gerard O'Loughlin's photograph entitled "My Cup", taken at last year's Roscommon senior camogie final, has been nominated for a Local Ireland Media award.

Roscommon Herald photographer, Gerard O’Loughlin, has been nominated for a Local Ireland Media award at the annual awards night in the Mullingar Park Hotel this evening (Thursday, September 19th).

The photograph shows Athleague camogie supporter, Jessie McDermott, making a beeline for the Bank of Ireland Cup moments before the presentation in the aftermath of the 2023 Roscommon Senior Camogie Championship final, which Athleague won by 1-9 to 1-6 in Ballyforan.

Roscommon Herald Deputy Editor, Richard Canny, has also been nominated in the Best Diversity Journalist category.
