ALL-IRELAND CHAMPIONS Clare have won eight Allstars in the GAA/GPA end-of-season hurling awards.
David McInerney, Brendan Bugler, Pat Donnellan, Colm Galvin, Conor Ryan, Tony Kelly, Podge Collins and Conor McGrath will be presented with their awards at Friday night’s banquet.
Beaten finalists Cork have three places with goalkeeper Anthony Nash joining Seamus Harnedy and Patrick Horgan.
The beaten semi-finalists make up the rest of the 15-man selection with Dublin trio Peter Kelly, Liam Rushe and Danny Sutcliffe honoured as is Limerick’s sole representative, full-back Richie McCarthy.
In total there are 12 first-time recipients with Nash, Bugler and Rushe the only players to have won Allstars previously.
Five of the winners — McInerney, Galvin, Kelly and Collins from Clare and Dublin’s Sutcliffe — also competed at U21 level this season.
“It was a truly exceptional hurling championship and the individual players honoured today can be very proud of their contribution to that season,” GPA chief executive Dessie Farrell said.
The football selection as well as the Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year in both codes will be announced at Friday’s ceremony in Croke Park.
Kelly, Nash and Collins will contest Hurler of the Year. Kelly is also nominated for Young Hurler of the Year where he goes up against team-mates McInernery and Collins.
Colin Ryan, scored 70 points this season and was integral to Clare winning the All-Ireland and these hacks leave him off the All-Star team. What an utter crock! To leave him off implies that his contribution wasn’t as telling on the destiny of the outcome of this season as those who are on it however, nothing could be further from the truth. Surely is going to go down as one of the worst omissions of all time from a team of the year.
He played a huge part but didn’t contribute all that much aside from frees. This is not to belittle his role in the team, he’s absolutely vital. But Sutcliffe and Harnedy were more complete players this year and Kelly is a shoe in for player of the year, I don’t think Ryan will feel to aggrieved. The huge number of other Clare winners probably hurt his chances as well. Only one he might have pushed out is Galvin
Joe I’m sure Clare people will happily drop any non Clare player. It looks terrible greedy from Clare people. One of their selectors was moaning a few weeks ago when two of the team were not nominated. If they keep going on like this they won’t be liked for much longer. By saying this and that Clare guy should have been nominated and selected they are saying some other guys shouldn’t have been, that’s an insult to those guys who worked equally as hard all year. They just didn’t end up with the main trophy, it shouldn’t always come down to what you win!
I think the novelty of Dublin knocking out Kilkenny twice in one year and winning Leinster over Galway pulled at selectors heartstrings. Although, Kelly, Rushe and Suttcliffe are great players, unusual to have talent like this in Dublin hurling.
Colin Ryan should have got one instead of Galvin, who was poor in the replay and was taken off in 2nd half with the game still in the melting pot.
Also, 3 dubs and just 1 limerick player?? They both got beaten in semifinal stages, cork deserved more than 3 all stars too. Lehane unlucky I think too. Suppose you can’t please everyone.
Also a thug though Donal. I’d say that went against him. And if it comes down to the games that matter like All Ireland finals he should have been sent off in one and got absolutely destroyed in the other.
He got away with two red card offences this year. Most pundits agreed so there will be no washing of the mouth required. He got what he deserved in the replay and now.
If “thugs” were not to be awarded All Stars, Mike, Tommy Timber and Jackie Tyrell wouldn’t have any now. And Liam Rushe wouldn’t have got one this year for the most blatant act of dangerous thuggery in the 2013 championship
He was taken to the cleaners by Shane o Donnell!! Conceded 3-3 from play in the final to his direct opponent and you wanted him to win an Allstar! Your having a laugh!
A bit strange that colin ryan missed out but if we were told the day that cork hammered us in munster that we would win the all ireland & get 8 all stars we would have been delighted.
Probably one of the Clare midfielders that was picked though which one is a tough call. As a Clare man I felt Colin Ryan was immense against both Limerick and Galway to get us to the All Ireland in the first place!
Trevor…u 4 real….Clare could only play what’s in front of them…Ya 4getting. ..this is a team of ” kids ” …a team that had potential to realise they said. .maybe challenge for honours in another 2 -3 years..they said…put that together with adapting to a relatively new style of play..” short game ” ..
And what did this Clare team do….only went and won the whole lot..
8 matches…1 loss to Cork….whom they incidetally had beat twice in league. ..and relegated them also… it can b argued they were naieve in their gameplan…
That game aside Clare improved with every game…and would have beaten anybody in that replay. …
They got hammered by Cork and came within seconds of losing the drawn game. They were taken to extra time against a very poor Wexford team and they made hard enough work of an absolutely brutal Galway team that had been beat emphatically by Dublin, who I think were the best team this year! If O’Dwyer hadn’t been wrongfully sent off I think they would have beaten Cork and then Clare.
Are you kidding me? O’Dwyer committed two yellow card frontal charge assaults, doesn’t matter if they were in the 1st or the 60th minute and deserved to walk. The only travesty is that Liam Rushe somehow stayed on the pitch that day for the dangerous swing at a player that could have maimed him but which is conveniently forgotten by the whinging Dubs. Dublin should have finished with 13 that day , not 14, and all the ifs and buts don’t matter. Clare were the best team this year, Cork second best. End of.
Mike are you for real, it’s obvious you are not a happy man that Clare won the All Ireland, they deserve every all star they got. As for their competition, have you not seen Pat Mustards post earlier about what they beat, I suppose the weak opposition includes a Wexford team that probably should have beaten Dublin, and a Waterford team that brought Kilkenny to extra time, as well as Galway, Limerick and Cork.
Too many Clare representatives. Cork beat the better teams along the way and hammered Clare in Munster. They also came within a few seconds of beating them in the drawn game.
Not much of a reflection on the year when you see no players from the League finalists and only one from the Munster champions. 11 from the relegation finalists and back door teams.
Or lack of red cards!! It must be something got to do with it. A guy with negative press surrounding him won’t get the breaks if things are even. I suspect this is what happened with O’Neill
ok a player plays in say first round of championship and gets a red. Then comes back and goes onto have a stormer of a season. or maybe a player has a stormer of a season and gets sent off in the semi final or final. why should that prevent him from getting an all star??
Absolutely thoroughly overjoyed with the amount of Clare players receiving all stars this year. Last year we got 1 all star and we were equally thrilled. Sitting in the stands in June watching us play Waterford in front of about 4000 Clare fans little did we think that we would be celebrating 8 all stars in November.
Kevin – always great to say you were there before others joined the bandwagon – great experience. The final was great – esp under the lights in the replay.
Just realised there are three dubs in the team. Were limerick that much worse having beaten cork in the munster final and losing to the eventual all ireland winners? And the one that is picked is playing out of position
How is it a joke, Clare played 8 games and Cork played 6 games against say Limerick’s 3 games. What do you do, pick a Limerick player who was outstanding in two Munster games or a Clare/Cork player outstanding in quarter, semi, drawn all Ireland and the replay. Of course you are going to pick the players who stood out on the biggest stage of all, which is the All Ireland semi and final!
My point is why would you pick a player that was brilliant in say two matches over a player that was brilliant in five or six matches, it’s a no brainer really! There is nothing unfair about that team, and the biggest debate will be about leaving Colin Ryan, if anyone, out of the team.
Limerick beat a poor Tipp team at home. Limerick beat a 14 man Cork team…. At home!!! Richie McCarthy only player deserving on his place, other Limerick players had commendable seasons but the capitulation against Clare means your asking for players to receive all stars on the first two games I mentioned above over Cork, Dub and Clare players who participated in 3 epic games in Croker as well as some serious games during the other rounds – No need to thank me for making you see sense!!!!!
Fair nuff but clare had a shocker first game, came through two very easy qualifiers and then met a seriously damaged galway team. Id argue that clare played fantastic for two (3) games
Limerick flopped when it came to the semi. You couldn’t expect more than one award. By contrast, Dublin were excellent in their semi and all three dubs are deserving of their award. Bit disappointed with Cork’s total. Was an 8-3 split indicative of the way the championship went? O’Neill and, possibly, O’Sullivan lost their awards with poor replay performances. No major complaints though.
Again kevin I go back to the point that you have reiterated. …players would appear to have been picked from semi final and finals only. Seriously you have explained my point rather well
Seriously Trevor you must be a bitter Limerick man with something agains Clare. They beat a Waterford team that brought Kilkenny to extra time in their first championship outing, beat a Wexford team that brought Dublin to a replay in the qualifiers, then beat last years beaten all Ireland finalist, this years Munster winners, all before their two epics with Cork.
Well deserved for clare….was some year for the hurling. Good season from cork too and Dublin keep improving! Next year should be interesting!!!! Trolls go back to bed
The Colin ryan omission is one that should spark some serious debate. Surely he played a more pivotal than some of the other recipients. From what I remember the majority of puck outs were sent down his wing and won there also during both finals.
Kilkenny league champions and played 6 championship games. Granted they underperformed this year in the series but id argue for a couple of the defenders, certainly Paul Murphy. But I suppose people are delighted to see the back of them- but they haven’t gone away you know…
well done to Limerick richie Mcarthy on award. in fairness he was the only Limerick player that I would have given an award to but am genuinlly shocked that Cork only got 2 awards. then again you can’t please everyone i suppose
I can’t see how Colin Ryan is not an all star and conor Ryan is makes no since at all.
As for Nash.
WHO has ever before this ever got an all star after letting in 5 goals in the final I mean 5.
He also tripped up the pitch 3 times in the first final only stuck one.
That’s a 33‰ return.
Missed a penalty in the first final.
Too much rubbish been wrote about an average keeper.
I’d still have donal og ahead of him.
Well Susan he still scored 4-9 this year and maybe you forgot his double save. He made plenty other decent saves during the year. Take off the blinkers like a good woman
Yes but as a goalkeeper what is your main priority?
As for wat he did score what did he miss check.
The % it’s not a great return.
Living off last year I believe.
The double save was great.
Ara come off it now Susan. Nash had the all-star in the bag well before the final with clean sheets against Clare, Limerick and Kilkenny. Another one in the first final not to mind his scoring record. He was brutally exposed by his defence in the second final but still managed to goal again. His spot as a player of the year contender makes a mockery of your assertions.
Who would you have picked susan…..Patrick kelly? lets make no mistake he shoulld have been booked and the free re-taken when he rushed down Nash in the first game…he broke the rules…Sean Cavavngah was castigated this year for bending the rules against monoghan and kellys was no different…Nash dragged cork to the all ireland final and into the second aswell….Kelly alro should have saved cork last goal in the replay it was straight at him……Your comments are ridiculous
I have to agree, I think it is unheard of that a keeper who concedes 5 goals in an all Ireland would win an all star, before we hear hear about his free taking, he didn’t win it for that. Other keepers must be disappointed.
The fact of the matter is that there wasn’t any real contenders to Nash this year. No one with as many clean sheets and nobody with his ability to score. He does the basics better than anyone and he can score frees that few can. He couldn’t have done anything about at least 4 of the goals in the replay. Doesn’t mean he wasn’t the best keeper in 2013. If ye are going to be arguing over a player of the year contender getting a slot….
Overall its a fair enough selection…except Colin Ryan’s omission is a travesty…by far the best free taker in championship. ..70 point’s. ..if he did nothing else and only stood on one leg..he deserved to be in the side 4 that feat alone..After all…would you pick a Best of the world Rugby team without the best place kicker. ….free taking is an Integral part of hurling and can’t help think Colin Ryan lost out to appease Dublin and Cork County Board’s. …
Cork were hardly “appeased” with 3 awards after what they contributed to the year and, particularly, both finals. In a year which had magical forward play you couldn’t logically give an award to Colin Ryan. He hardly lit up the scene from open play and nearly blew ye the title the first day with routine frees missed. To paraphrase your own analogy, any other Clare forward ‘standing on one leg’ should’ve and would’ve put over all those frees.
To appease the Dublin and cork county boards. Your telling me that the 6 players combined from both those counties didn’t deserve there awards. Your comment is just idiotic
Obviously the All Star selection committee got carried away like half the country with the hype surrounding this Clare team. We will see next year where most of these Clare All Stars are.
It’s a wonder they didn’t give one to Shane O’Donnell considering the non stop headlines about him since the replay.
Iv never read such bitter comments from people in all my life! Mike Neill you have no idea what winning an all Ireland for Clare means to any Clare person!!! as for your comments about being ‘greedy’ I think your taking up comments totally wrong! We have not been in an all Ireland since 2002 from the cork game in the Gaelic grounds this year if you told me we would have been in the all Ireland I would have laughed! But we stepped up to the plate dug in deep and 100% deserved to win as did cork but fortunately it went our way! 8 of them lads totally deserve all stars for there hard work commitment and great performances ALL YEAR not just for the final!!! So please stop making us out to be people we are not we are enjoying this victory at the end of the day it’s a game your thinking way to much into things and in my opinion coming across nasty and bitter!! AN CLAR ABU
Well said Ciara…that guy Mike was up half the night. .reacting badly to everyone..especially any Clare comments. ..I only mentioned about Colin Ryan not getting one and he starts about ….how greedy we are..etc..
We are truly blessed to have such a team…and if ” Mike Neill ” was at homecoming in Ennis…he would see what Clare supporters and their team are really about. .
AN CLAR ABU
Agreed David! Very bitter towards Clare and there’s no need for it we are far from greedy! A mayo man who should stick to the football he obviously hasn’t a clue about hurling!
No Allstar for this year’s top scorer. If it was Eoin Kelly or Henry Shefflin I bet they would of been in the team. Colin Ryan was an integral part of that Clare team. This is a disgrace.
What player should be dropped to make room for Ryan? Clare people don’t be greedy. Ye got more than ye deserved as it is. Unless ye want to drop one of the Clare players for Colin Ryan, maybe Conor Ryan or Collins who really didn’t do that much in the two All Ireland finals. People on here talking about mainly getting an All Star for playing well in the All Ireland final, well why did Collins get awarded? He scored one good point and did very little else overt he two games.
David I don’t think positions matter. Sure there are three full backs selected on the full back line and didn’t Conor Ryan play his best hurling at centre back but is selected at midfield. You are a bit biased and greedy there now (like an awful lot of Clare people) looking for a Cork or Dublin player to be dropped off the team. At least Dublin won Leinster and both Dublin and Cork beat better teams along the way or beat them better than Clare did.
Some awful attitude from Clare people since they won the All Ireland. I can see neutrals changing their opinion of them already. With comments like that I can see why.
You obviously don’t know the word gracious David. Kilkenny dominated the All Stars for the best part of a decade and they were always happy with what they got. Clare win one All Ireland and their supporters think they have an authority on everything and that all their players deserved to be nominated and selected.
Are you from Cork Mike ? If so ya hardly a neutral !
Read what u have written earlier. .my views are in response to what you wrote….
We are gracious and thankful to have a wonderful young team…nor do we take anything 4 granted 4 next few year’s. …there’s a helluva lot of good teams around..and it will take one hell of a performance to win back to back all Ireland’s..
Maybe we will maybe we won’t. ..but I reckon they will give a fair crack at it. ..
No I’m not from Cork. I’m a genuine GAA supporter and I think the awards should be based on performances for the year not one or two games at the end of the year. There was very little between Cork and Clare this year but yet Clare get 5 more All Stars. If Clare had not got the equaliser in the dying seconds that would have been reversed and half these Clare players wouldn’t be talked about. There were fine margins. Clare didn’t exactly steamroll their way through the year, they won it through the back door after all
In the drawn game…every Cork fan at game said it would have been a travesty if they had won…That Clare deserved to win first game…these are sentiments of cork…who I have to say along with Limerick..possess some of the finest supporters in country. ..
Maybe ask those sets of supporters what tgey think of Clare supporters ?
I don’t need to ask anyone. I was at both games roaring for Clare but I find this greedy streak from Clare since winning unsavory. A lot of people I know who enjoyed Clare winning also don’t like this poor attitude. Started by the Clare selector moaning about two players not getting nominated and now Clare supporters not happy with 8 selections.
U need to read what I wrote…delighted with 8 selections…my whole issue waa purely with Colin Ryan not getting picked…
Chill out a bit will ya…..we are not what ya making us out to be ..
David Colin Ryan played a lot of hurling at midfield this year. He could have been selected ahead of Galvin who had a poor replay and was substituted.
I’m a mayo man and was over the moon to see Clare win, but comments like yours wouldn’t really endear me to ye next year. That said, I think most Clare fans have some class in victory, thankfully your in the minority.
Joe ..ya picking me up wrong mate….I’m just reacting to comments by Mike Neil…..who called ys Greedy for wanting Colin Ryan in the selection..
Ye have made some derogatory remarks towards me on back of heated comments made in response to an individual. .who was actually slating a lot more than me…
So please joe have a proper read of these pists b4 u pass judgement. .
Mike give it a rest you bitter man, did a Clare man get off with your wife or something because every post is trying to say Clare people are greedy and want more. A lot of people are surprised Colin Ryan didn’t get an All Star and it not just Clare people, and why are you making assumptions that us Clare people want 9 All Stars, we are absolutely delighted with 8. Bugler, Donnellan, McInerney, Kelly and Collins are the five we all knew were definite to get an award and most people then thought Ryan would be next in this the list after this lot. By the way what county are you from that you are so bitter???
Seamus Harnedy was a certainty for an all star, everyone agreed with that all year. Clare lads are doing some moaning over Colin Ryan. If only Gavin had blown that whistle when time was up we wouldn’t be listening to this wailing!
Nobody moaning Michael so don’t know where your getting this from all people are saying is there surprised Colin Ryan didn’t get an all star is all!Clare are all Ireland champions and deserve it they fought two hard battles to get there. opinions like that are only bitter and nasty and should be kept to yourself! Let us have are moment!!!
Hi Ciara. To be fair, when people are saying it’s “a disgrace” that Colin Ryan got an all-star, that’s a little bit more than surprised. When you see the same people implying that other counties had to be “appeased” and casting aspersions on the likes of Nash, Sutcliffe and Harnedy, you can see why some would feel you’re looking for the Clare team to be honoured en bloc. That is not nasty nor bitter. Nobody is taking anything away from your win. Clare thoroughly deserved their title after two great tussles with us and a more likeable hurling side than this Clare team you could not find. I think 8 all stars was a little generous given what a brilliant hurling year it was in general, which a lot of counties contributed to. That said, all 8 hurlers had fantastic summers.
Says something about the selection process or the quality of Nash, that he can let five goals in during the final during his allstar year. He’s a touch of class, but leaking five in the most crucial game is certainly not all star material?
everyone usually has a complaint with allstars because there is so much talent out there. But 8 for Clare for two good wins is a bit over the top. They beat Limerick and Cork, two hard teams to beat but lost in the Munster championship. At the same time Dublin win Leinster and get three which im happy about but Limerick who reached the same stage get one and also won their provincial championship beating an excellent Tipp side and all-Ireland finalists Cork in the provincial final and coming closer than Cork to champions Clare and they get one. Each year, its becoming apparent that the stories surrounding individual games can make an allstar rather than a full season of playing at the highest level. I wouldnt begrudge anyone an allstar, all deserved but the mystery is the selection process.
Why do the media use words like dominate when the all ireland winning team have so many on the all star team. Clare were brilliant this year in the final and so they should have many guys on it but they were beaten during the year when they werent at good and didn’t really do so much In the league either. So maybe the media should stop using word like dominate for the selection and try remember guys from the counties that won the provincial finals and the league before picking the all stars and then, like all ireland winners before Clare, they may not doninate the all star team!

Colin Ryan, scored 70 points this season and was integral to Clare winning the All-Ireland and these hacks leave him off the All-Star team. What an utter crock! To leave him off implies that his contribution wasn’t as telling on the destiny of the outcome of this season as those who are on it however, nothing could be further from the truth. Surely is going to go down as one of the worst omissions of all time from a team of the year.
He played a huge part but didn’t contribute all that much aside from frees. This is not to belittle his role in the team, he’s absolutely vital. But Sutcliffe and Harnedy were more complete players this year and Kelly is a shoe in for player of the year, I don’t think Ryan will feel to aggrieved. The huge number of other Clare winners probably hurt his chances as well. Only one he might have pushed out is Galvin
Clare got 8 all stars, ye can’t complain too much. Ye were beaten in munster too dont forget. Who would you have dropped for Ryan?
Joe I’m sure Clare people will happily drop any non Clare player. It looks terrible greedy from Clare people. One of their selectors was moaning a few weeks ago when two of the team were not nominated. If they keep going on like this they won’t be liked for much longer. By saying this and that Clare guy should have been nominated and selected they are saying some other guys shouldn’t have been, that’s an insult to those guys who worked equally as hard all year. They just didn’t end up with the main trophy, it shouldn’t always come down to what you win!
So the free taker is not important. If Limerick had one in the semis Clare would not have made the final. Hon the Banner
Thought at last one other Limerick player would have made it… saying that the players that are on it deserve
Not one Kilkenny player All Star. This must be a first.
I think the novelty of Dublin knocking out Kilkenny twice in one year and winning Leinster over Galway pulled at selectors heartstrings. Although, Kelly, Rushe and Suttcliffe are great players, unusual to have talent like this in Dublin hurling.
Dublin weren’t outhurled in any game this year.
Dublin beat Kilkenny once and didn’t knock them out of the championship
Biggest shock for me is that Colin Ryan is not included.
Is it true that that Davy has instructed the full team to line out once more on presentation night to prevent Nash from picking up his award?
Colin Ryan should have got one instead of Galvin, who was poor in the replay and was taken off in 2nd half with the game still in the melting pot.
Also, 3 dubs and just 1 limerick player?? They both got beaten in semifinal stages, cork deserved more than 3 all stars too. Lehane unlucky I think too. Suppose you can’t please everyone.
Thats an excellent pick and its fair. No cork back but couldnt argue with it.
It’s a disgrace that Shane O’Neil didn’t get an all star. Cork’s best player all year.
Also a thug though Donal. I’d say that went against him. And if it comes down to the games that matter like All Ireland finals he should have been sent off in one and got absolutely destroyed in the other.
Wash out your mouth neill. You obviously haven’t watched his career. A clean pure hurler with great heart.
Sorry mike
He got away with two red card offences this year. Most pundits agreed so there will be no washing of the mouth required. He got what he deserved in the replay and now.
You said he was a thug !
If “thugs” were not to be awarded All Stars, Mike, Tommy Timber and Jackie Tyrell wouldn’t have any now. And Liam Rushe wouldn’t have got one this year for the most blatant act of dangerous thuggery in the 2013 championship
He was taken to the cleaners by Shane o Donnell!! Conceded 3-3 from play in the final to his direct opponent and you wanted him to win an Allstar! Your having a laugh!
A bit strange that colin ryan missed out but if we were told the day that cork hammered us in munster that we would win the all ireland & get 8 all stars we would have been delighted.
Who would you have dropped for Colin Ryan?
Probably one of the Clare midfielders that was picked though which one is a tough call. As a Clare man I felt Colin Ryan was immense against both Limerick and Galway to get us to the All Ireland in the first place!
Trevor…u 4 real….Clare could only play what’s in front of them…Ya 4getting. ..this is a team of ” kids ” …a team that had potential to realise they said. .maybe challenge for honours in another 2 -3 years..they said…put that together with adapting to a relatively new style of play..” short game ” ..
And what did this Clare team do….only went and won the whole lot..
8 matches…1 loss to Cork….whom they incidetally had beat twice in league. ..and relegated them also… it can b argued they were naieve in their gameplan…
That game aside Clare improved with every game…and would have beaten anybody in that replay. …
They got hammered by Cork and came within seconds of losing the drawn game. They were taken to extra time against a very poor Wexford team and they made hard enough work of an absolutely brutal Galway team that had been beat emphatically by Dublin, who I think were the best team this year! If O’Dwyer hadn’t been wrongfully sent off I think they would have beaten Cork and then Clare.
Are you kidding me? O’Dwyer committed two yellow card frontal charge assaults, doesn’t matter if they were in the 1st or the 60th minute and deserved to walk. The only travesty is that Liam Rushe somehow stayed on the pitch that day for the dangerous swing at a player that could have maimed him but which is conveniently forgotten by the whinging Dubs. Dublin should have finished with 13 that day , not 14, and all the ifs and buts don’t matter. Clare were the best team this year, Cork second best. End of.
Mike are you for real, it’s obvious you are not a happy man that Clare won the All Ireland, they deserve every all star they got. As for their competition, have you not seen Pat Mustards post earlier about what they beat, I suppose the weak opposition includes a Wexford team that probably should have beaten Dublin, and a Waterford team that brought Kilkenny to extra time, as well as Galway, Limerick and Cork.
Rushe should have been sent off in that Cork game and would have been off weren’t already down a man.
Too many Clare representatives. Cork beat the better teams along the way and hammered Clare in Munster. They also came within a few seconds of beating them in the drawn game.
Not much of a reflection on the year when you see no players from the League finalists and only one from the Munster champions. 11 from the relegation finalists and back door teams.
Didn’t hammer much when it counted
So mike, please humour us you bitter man, name your 15 all stars this year? Your anti Clare bias is quite amusing.
Delighted Shane O’Neill didn’t get an award. He got away with two straight red card offences this year.
red cards have nothing got to do with picking all stars
Or lack of red cards!! It must be something got to do with it. A guy with negative press surrounding him won’t get the breaks if things are even. I suspect this is what happened with O’Neill
ok a player plays in say first round of championship and gets a red. Then comes back and goes onto have a stormer of a season. or maybe a player has a stormer of a season and gets sent off in the semi final or final. why should that prevent him from getting an all star??
Colin Ryan is a freetaker, did damn all from open play, no controversy.8 all stars for Clare a bit generous.
There should be some kinda awards cermony to honour the struggling, weak and up coming counties like Tipperary,Kilkenny and Galway.
Mon d banner ;)
Absolutely thoroughly overjoyed with the amount of Clare players receiving all stars this year. Last year we got 1 all star and we were equally thrilled. Sitting in the stands in June watching us play Waterford in front of about 4000 Clare fans little did we think that we would be celebrating 8 all stars in November.
Thanks to the groundwork by Gus Lohan and his sons from Cappataggle
Kevin – always great to say you were there before others joined the bandwagon – great experience. The final was great – esp under the lights in the replay.
Clearly players picked over two weekends and not the whole championship. Token gestures to both the munster and Leinster champions.
Just realised there are three dubs in the team. Were limerick that much worse having beaten cork in the munster final and losing to the eventual all ireland winners? And the one that is picked is playing out of position
How is it a joke, Clare played 8 games and Cork played 6 games against say Limerick’s 3 games. What do you do, pick a Limerick player who was outstanding in two Munster games or a Clare/Cork player outstanding in quarter, semi, drawn all Ireland and the replay. Of course you are going to pick the players who stood out on the biggest stage of all, which is the All Ireland semi and final!
So is your point that limerick played less games to deserve being picked or that you only pick players who perform in the all ireland semi and final?
My point is why would you pick a player that was brilliant in say two matches over a player that was brilliant in five or six matches, it’s a no brainer really! There is nothing unfair about that team, and the biggest debate will be about leaving Colin Ryan, if anyone, out of the team.
Limerick beat a poor Tipp team at home. Limerick beat a 14 man Cork team…. At home!!! Richie McCarthy only player deserving on his place, other Limerick players had commendable seasons but the capitulation against Clare means your asking for players to receive all stars on the first two games I mentioned above over Cork, Dub and Clare players who participated in 3 epic games in Croker as well as some serious games during the other rounds – No need to thank me for making you see sense!!!!!
Trevor – seriously like???
Fair nuff but clare had a shocker first game, came through two very easy qualifiers and then met a seriously damaged galway team. Id argue that clare played fantastic for two (3) games
Limerick flopped when it came to the semi. You couldn’t expect more than one award. By contrast, Dublin were excellent in their semi and all three dubs are deserving of their award. Bit disappointed with Cork’s total. Was an 8-3 split indicative of the way the championship went? O’Neill and, possibly, O’Sullivan lost their awards with poor replay performances. No major complaints though.
Again kevin I go back to the point that you have reiterated. …players would appear to have been picked from semi final and finals only. Seriously you have explained my point rather well
Seriously Trevor you must be a bitter Limerick man with something agains Clare. They beat a Waterford team that brought Kilkenny to extra time in their first championship outing, beat a Wexford team that brought Dublin to a replay in the qualifiers, then beat last years beaten all Ireland finalist, this years Munster winners, all before their two epics with Cork.
But they did much more than Limerick did and ultimately proved this by wiping the floor with Limerick in Croker WHEN IT MATTERED!!!!
Good point. So, from an allstars point of view it can be a disadvantage to win a provincial title?
Well deserved for clare….was some year for the hurling. Good season from cork too and Dublin keep improving! Next year should be interesting!!!! Trolls go back to bed
The Colin ryan omission is one that should spark some serious debate. Surely he played a more pivotal than some of the other recipients. From what I remember the majority of puck outs were sent down his wing and won there also during both finals.
Kilkenny league champions and played 6 championship games. Granted they underperformed this year in the series but id argue for a couple of the defenders, certainly Paul Murphy. But I suppose people are delighted to see the back of them- but they haven’t gone away you know…
You’re right Murphy was imperious this year I’d have given him the nod. Not sure which of the full backs you drop though
well done to Limerick richie Mcarthy on award. in fairness he was the only Limerick player that I would have given an award to but am genuinlly shocked that Cork only got 2 awards. then again you can’t please everyone i suppose
Cork got three awards. ;)
ah sorry ya my mistake 3. still thought they would get at least 4 if not 5
I can’t see how Colin Ryan is not an all star and conor Ryan is makes no since at all.
As for Nash.
WHO has ever before this ever got an all star after letting in 5 goals in the final I mean 5.
He also tripped up the pitch 3 times in the first final only stuck one.
That’s a 33‰ return.
Missed a penalty in the first final.
Too much rubbish been wrote about an average keeper.
I’d still have donal og ahead of him.
Well Susan he still scored 4-9 this year and maybe you forgot his double save. He made plenty other decent saves during the year. Take off the blinkers like a good woman
Yes but as a goalkeeper what is your main priority?
As for wat he did score what did he miss check.
The % it’s not a great return.
Living off last year I believe.
The double save was great.
Ara come off it now Susan. Nash had the all-star in the bag well before the final with clean sheets against Clare, Limerick and Kilkenny. Another one in the first final not to mind his scoring record. He was brutally exposed by his defence in the second final but still managed to goal again. His spot as a player of the year contender makes a mockery of your assertions.
He scored 2-4 no????
Sorry about that deccie 4-9 I think over his two years. Apologies on my behalf
Who would you have picked susan…..Patrick kelly? lets make no mistake he shoulld have been booked and the free re-taken when he rushed down Nash in the first game…he broke the rules…Sean Cavavngah was castigated this year for bending the rules against monoghan and kellys was no different…Nash dragged cork to the all ireland final and into the second aswell….Kelly alro should have saved cork last goal in the replay it was straight at him……Your comments are ridiculous
Your point remains anyway. He was by far the most deserving of the keeper all star. His saves against Kilkenny and Darach Honan were top class!!
I have to agree, I think it is unheard of that a keeper who concedes 5 goals in an all Ireland would win an all star, before we hear hear about his free taking, he didn’t win it for that. Other keepers must be disappointed.
The fact of the matter is that there wasn’t any real contenders to Nash this year. No one with as many clean sheets and nobody with his ability to score. He does the basics better than anyone and he can score frees that few can. He couldn’t have done anything about at least 4 of the goals in the replay. Doesn’t mean he wasn’t the best keeper in 2013. If ye are going to be arguing over a player of the year contender getting a slot….
Overall its a fair enough selection…except Colin Ryan’s omission is a travesty…by far the best free taker in championship. ..70 point’s. ..if he did nothing else and only stood on one leg..he deserved to be in the side 4 that feat alone..After all…would you pick a Best of the world Rugby team without the best place kicker. ….free taking is an Integral part of hurling and can’t help think Colin Ryan lost out to appease Dublin and Cork County Board’s. …
Cork were hardly “appeased” with 3 awards after what they contributed to the year and, particularly, both finals. In a year which had magical forward play you couldn’t logically give an award to Colin Ryan. He hardly lit up the scene from open play and nearly blew ye the title the first day with routine frees missed. To paraphrase your own analogy, any other Clare forward ‘standing on one leg’ should’ve and would’ve put over all those frees.
To appease the Dublin and cork county boards. Your telling me that the 6 players combined from both those counties didn’t deserve there awards. Your comment is just idiotic
Thought Keaney might have been named but delighted for our 3 lads.
As a dual county Dublin are going to have a nice little collection of All Stars this year.
Obviously the All Star selection committee got carried away like half the country with the hype surrounding this Clare team. We will see next year where most of these Clare All Stars are.
It’s a wonder they didn’t give one to Shane O’Donnell considering the non stop headlines about him since the replay.
Iv never read such bitter comments from people in all my life! Mike Neill you have no idea what winning an all Ireland for Clare means to any Clare person!!! as for your comments about being ‘greedy’ I think your taking up comments totally wrong! We have not been in an all Ireland since 2002 from the cork game in the Gaelic grounds this year if you told me we would have been in the all Ireland I would have laughed! But we stepped up to the plate dug in deep and 100% deserved to win as did cork but fortunately it went our way! 8 of them lads totally deserve all stars for there hard work commitment and great performances ALL YEAR not just for the final!!! So please stop making us out to be people we are not we are enjoying this victory at the end of the day it’s a game your thinking way to much into things and in my opinion coming across nasty and bitter!! AN CLAR ABU
Well said Ciara…that guy Mike was up half the night. .reacting badly to everyone..especially any Clare comments. ..I only mentioned about Colin Ryan not getting one and he starts about ….how greedy we are..etc..
We are truly blessed to have such a team…and if ” Mike Neill ” was at homecoming in Ennis…he would see what Clare supporters and their team are really about. .
AN CLAR ABU
Agreed David! Very bitter towards Clare and there’s no need for it we are far from greedy! A mayo man who should stick to the football he obviously hasn’t a clue about hurling!
No Allstar for this year’s top scorer. If it was Eoin Kelly or Henry Shefflin I bet they would of been in the team. Colin Ryan was an integral part of that Clare team. This is a disgrace.
Delighted for the 8 Clare lads. Truly well deserved. Many proud Clare people after waking up to this news today.
What player should be dropped to make room for Ryan? Clare people don’t be greedy. Ye got more than ye deserved as it is. Unless ye want to drop one of the Clare players for Colin Ryan, maybe Conor Ryan or Collins who really didn’t do that much in the two All Ireland finals. People on here talking about mainly getting an All Star for playing well in the All Ireland final, well why did Collins get awarded? He scored one good point and did very little else overt he two games.
Well considering Colin Ryan is a wing forward…obviously. ..one of 2 selected…either Sutcliffe or Harnedy….should make way…my choice would b Sutcliffe…
Colin Ryan impressed me more than Sutcliffe, i’m a Limerick man by the way.
David I don’t think positions matter. Sure there are three full backs selected on the full back line and didn’t Conor Ryan play his best hurling at centre back but is selected at midfield. You are a bit biased and greedy there now (like an awful lot of Clare people) looking for a Cork or Dublin player to be dropped off the team. At least Dublin won Leinster and both Dublin and Cork beat better teams along the way or beat them better than Clare did.
Be happy with your lot and be gracious
Mike ya..fair bitter towards Clare…here’s hoping ya here this time next year..when we rack up 9 all star’s ….suck it up my man
Some awful attitude from Clare people since they won the All Ireland. I can see neutrals changing their opinion of them already. With comments like that I can see why.
You obviously don’t know the word gracious David. Kilkenny dominated the All Stars for the best part of a decade and they were always happy with what they got. Clare win one All Ireland and their supporters think they have an authority on everything and that all their players deserved to be nominated and selected.
Are you from Cork Mike ? If so ya hardly a neutral !
Read what u have written earlier. .my views are in response to what you wrote….
We are gracious and thankful to have a wonderful young team…nor do we take anything 4 granted 4 next few year’s. …there’s a helluva lot of good teams around..and it will take one hell of a performance to win back to back all Ireland’s..
Maybe we will maybe we won’t. ..but I reckon they will give a fair crack at it. ..
No I’m not from Cork. I’m a genuine GAA supporter and I think the awards should be based on performances for the year not one or two games at the end of the year. There was very little between Cork and Clare this year but yet Clare get 5 more All Stars. If Clare had not got the equaliser in the dying seconds that would have been reversed and half these Clare players wouldn’t be talked about. There were fine margins. Clare didn’t exactly steamroll their way through the year, they won it through the back door after all
In the drawn game…every Cork fan at game said it would have been a travesty if they had won…That Clare deserved to win first game…these are sentiments of cork…who I have to say along with Limerick..possess some of the finest supporters in country. ..
Maybe ask those sets of supporters what tgey think of Clare supporters ?
I don’t need to ask anyone. I was at both games roaring for Clare but I find this greedy streak from Clare since winning unsavory. A lot of people I know who enjoyed Clare winning also don’t like this poor attitude. Started by the Clare selector moaning about two players not getting nominated and now Clare supporters not happy with 8 selections.
U need to read what I wrote…delighted with 8 selections…my whole issue waa purely with Colin Ryan not getting picked…
Chill out a bit will ya…..we are not what ya making us out to be ..
David Colin Ryan played a lot of hurling at midfield this year. He could have been selected ahead of Galvin who had a poor replay and was substituted.
I’m a mayo man and was over the moon to see Clare win, but comments like yours wouldn’t really endear me to ye next year. That said, I think most Clare fans have some class in victory, thankfully your in the minority.
Joe ..ya picking me up wrong mate….I’m just reacting to comments by Mike Neil…..who called ys Greedy for wanting Colin Ryan in the selection..
Ye have made some derogatory remarks towards me on back of heated comments made in response to an individual. .who was actually slating a lot more than me…
So please joe have a proper read of these pists b4 u pass judgement. .
Mike give it a rest you bitter man, did a Clare man get off with your wife or something because every post is trying to say Clare people are greedy and want more. A lot of people are surprised Colin Ryan didn’t get an All Star and it not just Clare people, and why are you making assumptions that us Clare people want 9 All Stars, we are absolutely delighted with 8. Bugler, Donnellan, McInerney, Kelly and Collins are the five we all knew were definite to get an award and most people then thought Ryan would be next in this the list after this lot. By the way what county are you from that you are so bitter???
Don’t be silly David! Every expert in the game gave an all star to sutcliffe! He had year of his life
Seamus Harnedy was a certainty for an all star, everyone agreed with that all year. Clare lads are doing some moaning over Colin Ryan. If only Gavin had blown that whistle when time was up we wouldn’t be listening to this wailing!
Nobody moaning Michael so don’t know where your getting this from all people are saying is there surprised Colin Ryan didn’t get an all star is all!Clare are all Ireland champions and deserve it they fought two hard battles to get there. opinions like that are only bitter and nasty and should be kept to yourself! Let us have are moment!!!
Hi Ciara. To be fair, when people are saying it’s “a disgrace” that Colin Ryan got an all-star, that’s a little bit more than surprised. When you see the same people implying that other counties had to be “appeased” and casting aspersions on the likes of Nash, Sutcliffe and Harnedy, you can see why some would feel you’re looking for the Clare team to be honoured en bloc. That is not nasty nor bitter. Nobody is taking anything away from your win. Clare thoroughly deserved their title after two great tussles with us and a more likeable hurling side than this Clare team you could not find. I think 8 all stars was a little generous given what a brilliant hurling year it was in general, which a lot of counties contributed to. That said, all 8 hurlers had fantastic summers.
They taking care of the “little fishes”
Says something about the selection process or the quality of Nash, that he can let five goals in during the final during his allstar year. He’s a touch of class, but leaking five in the most crucial game is certainly not all star material?
Very harsh on Kevin Moran of waterford!
Podge was also u-21
Personally I’d probably play Colin Ryan ahead of harnedy! Also I don’t agree with the full back line
Pity we ever let Gus Lohan go to Clare from Cappataggle. He and his two sons taught them how to win
everyone usually has a complaint with allstars because there is so much talent out there. But 8 for Clare for two good wins is a bit over the top. They beat Limerick and Cork, two hard teams to beat but lost in the Munster championship. At the same time Dublin win Leinster and get three which im happy about but Limerick who reached the same stage get one and also won their provincial championship beating an excellent Tipp side and all-Ireland finalists Cork in the provincial final and coming closer than Cork to champions Clare and they get one. Each year, its becoming apparent that the stories surrounding individual games can make an allstar rather than a full season of playing at the highest level. I wouldnt begrudge anyone an allstar, all deserved but the mystery is the selection process.
What’s the problem about commenting about Gus Lohan and his sons
Why do the media use words like dominate when the all ireland winning team have so many on the all star team. Clare were brilliant this year in the final and so they should have many guys on it but they were beaten during the year when they werent at good and didn’t really do so much In the league either. So maybe the media should stop using word like dominate for the selection and try remember guys from the counties that won the provincial finals and the league before picking the all stars and then, like all ireland winners before Clare, they may not doninate the all star team!
James Skehil Galway is the only net minder. Wait and see.
Has everyone forgotten what the Lohans from Cappataggle did for Clare hurling
