Rising Letterkenny jockey Dylan Browne-McMonagle is the first winner of the Donegal Daily/Donegal Sport Hub Sports Person of the Week award, in association with O’Reilly’s.

Browne-McMonagle came out on top in the public vote.

Last weekend, Browne-McMonagle saddled eight winners between Ramelton on Saturday and Laois on Sunday, recording a four-timer at each meeting.

It was a milestone weekend for Browne-McMonagle, as he passed his first century of winners on the pony circuit.

His 100th winner came aboard Omega in the One Mile Open at Shanahoe on Sunday.

Browne-McMonagle polled 709 votes, some 42 per cent of the 1,692 votes cast.

Kerrykeel’s Conor McBride, who won the 1866 Donegal Wild Atlantic Way Marathon had 368 votes.

Each weekly award winner will receive a kitbag, a jersey and a half-zip, supplied by O’Reilly’s sportswear, founded in 2017 by well-known Twin Towns sporting brothers Steven and Martin O’Reilly.
