THIS ONE ALREADY looks signed sealed and delivered. TJ Reid, Patrick “Bonner” Maher and John “Bubbles” O’Dwyer were in sensational form right up to the All-Ireland final and there shouldn’t be any stopping this trio claiming their Allstars.
Noel McGrath had a good year as in a roving corner-forward role while Michael Fennelly was excellent in the All-Ireland final replay but neither should trouble Reid, Maher or O’Dwyer for a place on the team.
Elsewhere, Declan Hannon, Conor Lehane and Conor Cooney were rewarded for fine seasons.
