Snub to Cats as Tipperary top All Star nominations
Eyebrows will be raised by the fact that Kilkenny have received 12 All Star nominations in comparison with All-Ireland finalists Tipperary’s 13, despite the fact that the Cats beat the Munster county in both the league and championship deciders this season, a run of success which has contributed to Kilkenny being hailed as one of the greatest teams of all time.
“I wasn’t aware the nominations were out,” said Kilkenny selector Martin Fogarty yesterday evening.
