The nominees that year were all from Fanad, Linda Friel, Junior Gallagher and Brid Carr. Brid sadly passed away in August last year. Her niece Meg Carr received the presentation. Meg is a three-time award winner in 2010, 14 and 18. In 1980 Brid was made it back-to-backs after also being honoured in 1979. She had an impressive record in 1980 being the National Youth Club U-18 champion. That year Brid was also the Donegal senior champion in single, doubles and mixed doubles. She also won County Junior Singles and Doubles and was a quarter-finalist at the Connacht International Open. She also had a successful mixed doubles partnership with George Peoples.
