Our 2023 MVP, Ethan Doherty is a pivotal cog in the Derry machine. Averaging 40 possessions per game with an incredible 97% retention rate, the Watty Graham's player does not give up possession easy and is a trusted ball carrier and important transition link. Outside of scoring 3 points from play, he assisted 1-10 (20% of Derry's total points for the Championship).
