CLARE DUO MARK Rodgers and Adam Hogan, and Cork defender Ciarán Joyce are the players that make up the shortlist for the 2023 GAA Young Hurler of the Year award.
The trio are recognised for their performances this season, nominated for an award where the criteria is only U22 players can feature.
It is the second successive season that Joyce has been nominated for this award, the two-time All-Ireland U20 winner has emerged as a hugely influential defender for Pat Ryan’s Cork side.
Hogan enjoyed a brilliant debut senior campaign, the 2022 Dr Harty Cup winner with St Joseph’s Tulla nailing down a regular spot in the Clare rearguard.
Rodgers impressed in the Clare attack, scoring 4-27 in total and 4-13 of that tally from play. He raised a green flag in the Munster final against Limerick and took over free-taking duties in the All-Ireland series.
The nominees were decided by a panel of Gaelic Games media correspondents and the committee was chaired by GAA President Larry McCarthy. The award will be voted on exclusively by inter-county players.

Had to lol at Sky referring to Andy Murray as a Brit when he won the set. He’ll be back to being the Scot if federer wins.
Why bother watching British tv then, match us also on TG4 – I’m sure you’re fluent
If Andy Murray wins, his mother Judy will swoop down onto court and regurgitate a dead mouse for him.
haha brilliant
Can’t stand Andy Murray, comes across as a right snob
Sickened!
Some match so far and i don’t even like tennis.
What’s the score now ?
One set all, i can see Federer wearing Murray down, has that extra bit of class but Murray has a lot of heart.
Yawn !
It’s a great match. Some fantastic tennis, exciting to watch.
