Cork and Kerry grab most of Munster Allstars

ALL-IRELAND champions Kerry and Cork dominate the selection of the Waterford Crystal Munster GAA Allstars, announced last evening.

Kerry have seven players honoured in football, six of them for the second consecutive year, along with Michael McCarthy, while five Cork hurlers were named. Notably, the hurling team includes Limerick full-back Stephen Lucey, who was chosen on the football side last year.

The scheme was inaugurated by Munster Council chairman Sean Fogarty, with the aim of honouring outstanding players in the provincial championship and those who don’t gain recognition at national level.
