LAST SUNDAY’S BEATEN All-Ireland finalists Galway top the list with 14 nominees for the 2012 GAA-GPA Hurling All-Stars awards sponsored by Opel.
The Tribesmen, who were crowned Leinster champions in July, have two more than the Kilkenny side that defeated them to lift the Liam McCarthy Cup last Sunday. Galway’s James Regan along with Kilkenny trio David Herity, Cillian Buckley and Walter Walsh are the only four players who started last Sunday’s final that are not nominated on the 45-player list.
Beaten All-Ireland semi-finalists Tipperary are next in line with six nominees while Cork and Waterford have four apiece. Munster counties Limerick and Clare both have two nominations while Danny Sutcliffe is the solitary Dublin nominee.
Ten members of last year’s All-Star winning team are nominated for their efforts this season – Paul Murphy, Michael Cahill, Tommy Walsh, Brian Hogan, Padraic Maher, Michael Fennelly, Richie Power, Henry Shefflin, John Mullane and Richie Hogan.
In all there are 19 nominees on the list who were also nominated last year while there are 27 players who will be bidding for their first All-Star award. There is guaranteed to be a first-time winner in the goalkeeping position with Cork’s Anthony Nash, Limerick’s Nickie Quaid and Galway’s James Skehill all bidding for their maiden award.

What do you think? Let us know in the comment section below…
It is easy to be a star when your team is winning but for me once again John Mullane of Waterford should be Hurler of the Year for his sheer grit and never say die attitude when the battle is well lost .
I write as a Tipp man and we will doing good to get one award in Padraig Maher.
It’s always nice to win an all star as it shows how highly regarded a player is. But at end of the day we have what all the rest want. The Liam Mc Carthy cup. Go on the cats . Yeeeeeeee hahhhhhhhh
4-37, only behind Joe & Henry and nowhere on even the nomination list for S.Dowling seems incredible. Would’ve thought young hurler of the year nomination should’ve come his way too.
Ya tis shockin that he not nominated, sunday game panal gave him an honerable mention when picking their team last week, on another note well done to nicky quaid and richie mcarthy on their nominations

i would have thought Brian hogan was in line for hurler of the year ..
It is easy to be a star when your team is winning but for me once again John Mullane of Waterford should be Hurler of the Year for his sheer grit and never say die attitude when the battle is well lost .
I write as a Tipp man and we will doing good to get one award in Padraig Maher.

Shefflin for player of the year
4-37, only behind Joe & Henry and nowhere on even the nomination list for S.Dowling seems incredible. Would’ve thought young hurler of the year nomination should’ve come his way too.
Ya tis shockin that he not nominated, sunday game panal gave him an honerable mention when picking their team last week, on another note well done to nicky quaid and richie mcarthy on their nominations
