McGarry the best and should be an Allstar, says Skehan

SEVEN-TIME goalkeeping Allstar and Kilkenny selector Noel Skehan has called for current netminder James McGarry to be named the country’s number one.

McGarry, who won his third All-Ireland medal on Sunday has yet to win a coveted statute, something which baffles Skehan.

“It’s crazy really. Three All-Irelands won in the last four years, I’d say he’s been one of the top players Kilkenny have had over that period, and the steadiest. Two goals conceded in four All-Ireland finals, nine goals in 19 championship games, that’s some record. Not to have won an Allstar at this stage seems crazy to me. In fact he shouldn’t have one, he should have two, should be going for his third“.
