Kingdom lead All Star way

It’s no surprise Kerry lead the way with 11 All Star nominations, two more than beaten finalists Donegal and National League and Leinster winners Dublin.

However, their haul is the lowest representation from All-Ireland champions since Cork’s 11 in 2010.

Of the team that started last month’s decider, goalkeeper Brian Kelly, defenders Marc Ó Sé, Killian Young and half-forward Stephen O’Brien are the four that miss out on the GAA-GPA acknowledgements, which are chosen by a panel of GAA journalists.
