Cluxton the lone Dublin star on Rules panel

DUBLIN may be the All-Ireland champions and favourites to claim the majority of All Stars but a fixtures backlog on the club scene has put a halt to ambitions of dominating the International Rules team.

Stephen Cluxton is their only player to be named on Anthony Tohill’s provisional 31-man training panel, which is due to be culled to 23 next Thursday.

With 15 counties represented, the squad also includes four players plying their trade Down Under, in Tadhg Kennelly, Pearse Hanley, Michael Quinn and Chrissy McKaigue.
