Hogan my hurler of the year to lead alternative All Stars

THE GAA-GPA All Stars have become elitist and does not recognise the contribution of hurlers who fail to reach the All-Ireland semi-final stage.

Every October 13, individuals sit down to pick the All Star hurling team. There are simply too many opinions involved, too many voices.

It is hard enough to pick a junior club team when more than three voices are providing input, so you can only imagine all the opinions flying about when you have over a dozen critics sitting around the table poring over this team.
