CHAMPIONS TIPPERARY LEAD the way after their All-Ireland triumph in the 2024 hurling minor team of the year.

The award scheme, sponsored by Electric Ireland, sees five Tipperary players selected, with beaten finalists Kilkenny having four representatives.

Semi-finalists Galway have three players, with two Clare players included, and there is one from Wexford on the side.

Star Tipperary forward Euan Murray has been announced as the minor hurling player of the year. He scored 1-4 in the All-Ireland semi-final victory over Galway, and he fired 0-4 in that final win over Kilkenny.

The minor star football team of the year and player of the year will both be unveiled on Wednesday 21 August.
