ALL-IRELAND CHAMPIONS Dublin lead the way with ten players up for consideration for the 2023 PwC GAA-GPA All-Star football awards.
Dessie Farrell’s men are the dominant force among the 45-player strong shortlist for the awards, which will take place this year on 17 November at the RDS, in a change from the usual venue of the Convention Centre.
In all, the introduction of the round-robin structure of the All-Ireland football championship has given a greater democracy to the awards scheme. 13 counties, up from 11 last year, are represented this time, while the numbers of the winning team are less than Tyrone in 2021 (14) and Kerry last year (12).
Beaten finalists Kerry have nine players in contention. Derry have equalled last year’s number with seven in contention.

Monaghan’s strong showing has granted them four nominations, while there are two each for Connacht champions Galway, Roscommon, Armagh, Donegal, Tyrone and Mayo.
There is also representation for Cork, Westmeath and Kildare with one each.
Nine of the 2022 All-Stars have made the shortlist this time around.
