Derry and Armagh dominate GAA minor football team of the year

There are also three players apiece honoured from Kerry and Mayo.

ALL-IRELAND CHAMPIONS Derry lead the way in the 2024 minor football team of the year.

The Electric Ireland-sponsored awards scheme sees five Derry players honoured, along with four from beaten finalists Armagh.

Derry lifted the Tom Markham Cup in July with their 2-7 to 0-10 success over Armagh in an all-Ulster final in Omagh. The victory clinched the county’s third All-Ireland minor title in five seasons.

The Ulster pair supply nine players in the team honoured, with three from Kerry and three from Mayo completing the line-up.

Kerry claimed Munster honours this season, while Mayo won the Connacht title.

Derry midfielder and captain James Sargent has won the footballer of the year  honour at minor level, leading by example in the final as he grabbed a goal, while also winning the man-of-the-match award.
