ALL-IRELAND CHAMPIONS LIMERICK lead the way with a total of six players on the 2018 GAA-GPA PwC All-Star hurling team.
John Kiely’s side ended a 45-year wait for All-Ireland glory in sensational fashion in September as they dethroned Galway at Croke Park.
The entire Treaty starting fifteen from the showdown were nominated for All-Stars, with six recognised in the top team from across the country tonight.
Sean Finn, Richie English, Declan Hannon, Dan Morrissey, Cian Lynch and Graeme Mulcahy all pocketed their first All-Stars.
Beaten finalists Galway had three players honoured, likewise with Cork, while Clare duo Peter Duggan and John Conlon, and Kilkenny goalkeeper Eoin Murphy complete the 15.
GAA President John Horan chaired a selection committee made up of senior Gaelic Games Correspondents to decide on the team earlier this week.
The 15 outstanding players from 2018 were presented with their accolades at the All-Star ceremony at Dublin’s Convention Centre tonight.
