3. JJ Delaney (Kilkenny).
4. Fergal Moore (Galway).

All Ireland runners-up Galway are the most heavily represented county in the selection with six of the team who won the Leinster title and pushed the All Ireland final to a replay included.
Champions, Kilkenny, have five representatives including Henry Shefflin who earned his ninth medal on the field of play and his 11th All-Star. For the first time since 2002, however, there is no place for Tommy Walsh who had hoped to earn his 10th consecutive nomination.
Eight of the 15 are selected for their first All-Star: Anthony Nash, Brendan Bugler, Fergal Moore, David Collins, Kevin Moran, Iarla Tannian, TJ Reid and David Burke.
well done to ALL the recipients
Well done all the Galway players
What did they win?
Johnny coen should have gotten an all star. Great debut for the senior team, cleaned up in the Leinster final and the first game against Kilkenny,
Tipperary are in the Sin Bin for making a mockery of the game and must wait for the penalty period to finish. That will be when they win it next year.
Lar on the Late Late. Gave it 100%. Fair play to ya Lar.
Emmm… All Ireland AND league champions are who remind me??? All stars a joke..
great point.
Dublin won all stars last year on the strength of their league campaign and fair play to them. But it didn’t seem to matter when Kilkenny won it. I understand the media are sick as shit with Kilkenny but come on…. And is it obligatory that Mullane wins one??
Tommy Walshe should have got an award for throwing the Hurley. Only Kilkenny playerss do this and never they never get a red card.
He’s not a sportsman. The fact that he didn’t get another all star means they’ve finally copped onto him !
when did he throw the Hurley ? didn’t deserve one this year but still a legend
2010 All Ireland final, second half versus Tipp.
Not to mention the time he hopped off the ref and feck all happened.
I do think he is a talented player but there is a nasty element to his game.
What are u a joke.. He puts his whole heart into game
Damien Hayes, did he play in the final, and replay, can’t rem him getn a touch of the ball, joke is what them all stars are.
Went missing alright. Not the only man from that side if the Shannon to go missing in Croker this September.
Popcorn the last 7 times a hurl has been thrown in Kilkenny games its 5 to 2 in favour of the opposition throwing hurls. When did tommy throw the hurl?
ahh don’t mind him , he hasn’t a clue
UP KANTURK!!! 2 All-Stars !! Small down massive drive to be the best!!
congrats to David Collins
Popcorn, that was John Tennyson in 2010
well done to the Galway lads, we’re seriously building for the future and should be back one year wiser a little cuter next year. Unlucky to Johnny Coen as well.
Some bad calls john mullane didnt deserve one overhyped by media, kevin moran not a midfielder, pa cronin should have got one there, pauraic maher unlucky to miss,out thought he was best wing back this year
I agree,Maher for bugler,Cronin in and surely David Burke or even Pat Horgan for mullane
Delighted for nasher
