All-Ireland champions Clare dominate All Star awards

Clare have crowned their All-Ireland title with an impressive haul of eight All Stars - three backs and a trio of forwards as well as the two midfielders.

It emulates their 1995 total when Ger Loughnane led them to their first Liam MacCarthy Cup since 1914 and bests their six awards in '97.

The eight also replicates the impressive collection of Kilkenny's two years ago, just one short of the record of nine achieved by the Cats in 2000 and '08.
