Bank of Ireland is delighted to name Kevin McLaughlin as the Bank of Ireland Player of the Month for September 2009…

Ronnie Feeney, Regional Business Manager, Bank of Ireland presented McLaughlin with this prestigious award which is voted for by Leinster supporters.

September provided lots of match time to rate player performances with four Magners League clashes. The three wins during September against Dragons, Ospreys and Edinburgh helped to put Leinster in their current position, top of the league table.

Flanker McLaughlin played in all four games and took the opportunity to impress Leinster’s followers with energetic performances making him supporters top choice in September.

An appreciative Kevin McLaughlin said: “I am delighted to receive this award; it is a great honour to be recognised by the Leinster supporters. I’ve work hard over the past few months and look forward to continuing this for the supporters and for the team.”

With the next Heineken Cup clash just days away McLaughlin added: “We’re really looking forward to the game against Brive, it is a chance to get back on track following last week’s defeat”.
