Breakthrough gong for David Clifford as Dublin dominate All-Stars

All-Ireland SFC champions Dublin matched their best PwC All Stars haul this decade with seven awards as Colm Cavanagh and Brian Howard were picked for honours in areas other than where they were nominated.
As part of a selection change introduced this year, nominated outfield players can be chosen in a different section providing they have played in that role during the Championship. Cavanagh, nominated in midfield, is acknowledged for his work in defence and young footballer of the year nominee and forward nominee Howard slots into the middle alongside his team-mate Brian Fenton.
