ALL-IRELAND CHAMPIONS Kerry had eight players named on the Electric Ireland GAA minor star football team of the year, which was released this morning.
David Clifford, who bagged 4-4 in the final success over Derry, leads the attack at centre-forward while his Kingdom team-mates Deividas Uosis, Cian Gammell, Michael Potts, Niall Donohue, Barry Mahony, Donal O’Sullivan and Fiachra Clifford also feature.
The 15 players selected will be formally recognised at the inaugural GAA Minor Star Awards that will take place in Croke Park on 7 October.
The four-man awards selection panel consisted of Meath boss Andy McEntee, Clare coach Dónal Óg Cusack, Armagh legend Oisín McConville and Cuala manager Mattie Kenny.
McConville said: “It is a real honour to be named on the Team of the Year, not just for the player themselves but also for their families, counties, schools and clubs who have played a crucial part in these young players careers to date.
“It is just incredible to see such dedication in such young athletes but it really is a testament to them and they should be celebrated and that is what these awards are all about.”
