ALL-IRELAND CHAMPIONS Kilkenny dominate the shortlist for the 2016 Camogie All-Star awards after winning their first O’Duffy Cup since 1994.

The Cats edged out Cork in the final last month to win a 13th All-Ireland crown and have been rewarded with 15 nominations for the team which will be announced on 5 November.

Cork, meanwhile, have 10 representatives on the shortlist while Tipperary receive five despite falling at the quarter-final stage. In total, the nominees come from nine counties.

“The Camogie All-Stars celebrate the outstanding skill, commitment, athleticism and sportsmanship of our players and it is important to acknowledge at a national level their contribution to our game and to provide them with the recognition they so richly deserve,” Catherine Neary, President of the Camogie Association, said.

Nominees for the Camogie Association/WGPA Senior, Intermediate and Junior Players of the Year will be announced later this month.
