CHAMPIONS DUBLIN LEAD the way with 13 nominees for the 2020 PwC Football All-Stars, followed closely by beaten finalists Mayo who have 12.
The pair have the most representatives on the 45-player shortlist with ten counties in all having inclusions. Dublin’s tally of 13 matches the number they enjoyed in 2019 and in 2017, the latter year also seeing Mayo get 12 nominees.
After celebrating a first Ulster title in 23 years, Cavan have been rewarded with seven nominations, their highest ever total and one greater than in 1997 when they were last crowned provincial kingpins.
Tipperary also celebrated a historical title win last year and have four players nominated after their Munster success. There are three Donegal players and two from Galway in the running.
