You think Cork are fretting over All Stars?
LET me answer my own headline. I don’t care if Cork get no All Star awards this year as long as they win the All-Ireland final on Sunday. And knowing a good number of the Cork players, I’d say All Star awards are far from their minds. But it’s a fair question to ask - is it a good or bad thing for one of the All-Ireland finalists if they don’t have too many obvious candidates for the team of the year? First of all, I don’t think the championship has thrown out a lot of definite All Star selections, no matter what county you pick.
Tyrone and Kerry were blown out reasonably early, so the three or four choices you might make from those teams are gone – players you’d expect to be in the shake-up every year.
