DUBLIN HAVE EIGHT players on our football All-Star team after winning their sixth All-Ireland title in succession.
Despite the fact Stephen Cluxton didn’t concede a goal all championship, Raymond Galligan takes the number one spot for his stunning performances with Cavan.
The Breffni men have two others on the team – Ciaran Brady and Thomas Galligan. Mayo’s trio includes Oisin Mullin, who enjoyed a breakout campaign and gave a strong performance in the All-Ireland final.
Eoin Murchan is probably the unluckiest Dub to lose out, with Padraig Faulkner of Cavan another close call.
Niall Scully gets rewarded for his consistency in a forward line that also includes Footballer of the Year frontrunner Ciaran Kilkenny. Tipperary’s Conor Sweeney bags a deserved spot in the last line of attack.

Jack O’Connor is some man when Jim Gavin goes running scared at the first sign of a challenge in leinster championship!
The future’s bright. The future’s white.

Sam Doran needs to get a look here. Was class all season for JTB!
@t: Doran is a serious prospect! Possibly the best forward in the county. Keep watch for him. A hot prospect
