FOUR TEAMS ARE left in the race for All-Ireland hurling glory.

Provincial champions Galway and Cork, along with quarter-final victors Limerick and Clare are the outfits in contention to land the Liam MacCarthy Cup next month.

Eoin Murphy, John Conlon, Padraic Mannion and Patrick Horgan are front-runners for the end-of-season awards.

With all but three games played for the season, we’ve taken a stab at selecting our All-Star hurling teams from the summer so far.

There’s a consensus below in choosing 10 players – Eoin Murphy, Daithi Burke, Colm Spillane, Padraic Mannion, Darragh Fitzgibbon, Cian Lynch, Joe Canning, Séamus Harnedy, John Conlon and Patrick Horgan.

But there are differences elsewhere in the selections and the remaining matches in July and August will go a long way in deciding the individual prizes.
