Munster’s Allstars

THE 30 hurlers and footballers to be chosen on the inaugural Munster GAA Allstars award scheme will be automatically included in the respective squads for the Railway Cup.

Council chairman Sean Fogarty made the announcement yesterday.

“I have always held that the national Allstar awards are too biased in favour of the All-Ireland finalists, and even the semi-finalists,’’ he said.

The judges for the two teams are: Donie Nealon, Eamonn Cregan, Phil Fanning (hurling), Eamonn Ryan, Eddie ‘Tatler’ O’Sullivan, Seamus McCarthy (football), as well as journalists Jim O’Sullivan and Seamus Hayes who will sit on both selection committee.
