ALL-IRELAND CHAMPIONS LIMERICK have seven players on The Sunday Game’s Hurling Team of the Year, with three for runners-up Galway.
Beaten semi-finalists Cork and Clare both have two players apiece, while Kilkenny goalkeeper Eoin Murphy is the only representative from a county outside this year’s final four.
The team was selected by a panel of seven RTÉ pundits: Brendan Cummins, Anthony Daly, Cyril Farrell, Jackie Tyrrell, Donal O’Grady, Eddie Brennan and Ken McGrath.
In addition, the seven pundits unanimously endorsed Galway’s Padraic Mannion as their Hurler of the Year.

Another huge talent off the Dublin/AIG production line. Dublin cleverness and investment in youth structures combined with most other football counties being work-shy, unambitious and lazy has got them into the position they’re in today. People can talk all they want about home advantage, the vast sums of AIG money, the multiple additional sponsorship tie-ups, 23 man backroom teams, having 36% of the population to choose from and all the disproportionate funds directed by the GAA into Dublin coffers – it’s all irrelevant. The envious and bone idle other counties just need to invest in their ‘structures’ like Dublin and success will flow like a river.
@Johnny A: And boy do we love how it makes people like you feel ;)
Can we start referring to Mayo as Mayo/Enda Kenny?
Honestly, give it a rest, do you not get tired saying the same thing every day?
@Johnny A: Yawn, Johnny A Hole! Spinning the same yarns and waffle on every Dublin article and yet can’t produce a single fact or statistic to back up his meanderings. The obsession is a bit ridiculous. He’s all over every Dublin article like I want to be all over Margot Robbie.
@Johnny A: I hope you got it all off your chest now Johnny(Kerry Gold)A
@Johnny A: You know you love the Super Dubs!!!! Now will ye ever go and fix that broken record of yours, or better again go get yourself some mates. UP THE DUBS!!!
COYBIB & KING CON WILL BE A DUBLIN LEGEND COMING FROM THE PROLIFIC DUBLIN GAA YOUTH SYSTEM
Wait until Boyle gets a hold of him #NoMercy
@Fionnan Ryan:
@Fionnan Ryan: With his dodgy achilles sure he only plays half a match now
@Fionnan Ryan: if he gets a hold of him on the ball the ref will hopefully give a free as per the rules and the “apache indian” might play within the rules then
