Four counties are represented among the 15 players.

ALL-IRELAND CHAMPIONS KILKENNY dominate the Sunday Game panel’s team of the year, following today’s 1-22 to 1-18 win against Galway in the decider.

The panel — consisting of Donal Óg Cusack, Henry Shefflin, Anthony Daly, Michael Duignan, Ger Loughnane, Liam Sheedy and Cyril Farrell — also unanimously selected Kilkenny forward TJ Reid as their hurler of 2015.

The team is made up of seven players from champions Kilkenny, four from runners-up Galway and two each from beaten semi-finalists Tipperary and Waterford.

    @Willie Murphy: Ah Willie, I never said it was the greatest try ever scored in NRL history. Seriously, if you’re not impressed by that, we’ll have to get you out for a game some time.
