CHAMPIONS TYRONE LEAD the way with eight players honoured in The Sunday Game Football Team of the Year which was named last night.
The Ulster and All-Ireland champions have eight players selected, while there are four from beaten finalists Mayo, two from Kerry and one from Dublin.
Goalkeeper Niall Morgan was picked along with four defenders – Pádraig Hampsey, Niall Sludden, Kieran McGeary and Peter Harte – from Tyrone. Midfielder Conn Kilpatrick and the attacking duo of Conor Meyler and Darren McCurry completed the Tyrone representation.
Lee Keegan, Patrick Durcan, Matthew Ruane and Tommy Conroy were the four Mayo players chosen. The Clifford brothers, Paudie and David, were the Kerry players that got the nod with Dublin’s Ciarán Kilkenny completing the line-up.
Kieran McGeary was chosen as the Footballer of the Year by the RTÉ panel.

When your father is secretary of county board always going to be difficult to keep independent
Ya just get rid of Davy…
I think what Lohan meant to say was “You could get the likes of Ger Loughnane to chair that independent committee and give me the managers job”!!
a review is the least that is called for. Something just isn’t right and unless the air is completely cleared the team can’t function properly. And worse the fans Will desert them all bar the 5or so thousand that would follow them anywhere
The lads voting “no” are definitely from outside the county!!! They’ll want him in the job as long as possible; can’t blame em!!
the players should be asked they are the most important people involved in this not the onlookers from the stand
Independent to me would mean someone not involved at all, ie. outside of the county, doing the review. Then again is there anyone in the GAA considered ‘independent’ and everyone would agree on?
someone like Mickey Harte, Jimmy McGuinness – capable people with no real competitive interest with hurling teams.
