Tipp trump Kilkenny in All Starhonours list

Tipperary’s hurlers created a little bit of history last night when they became only the second All-Ireland runners-up to pick up seven All Stars.

For the second time in three seasons, Kilkenny as champions received one less than the team they beat in the final.

In 2012, Galway picked up six to the Cats’ five and this season Tipperary have bested their half a dozen. As runners-up in 1973, Kilkenny attained seven of the individual accolades compared to Limerick’s five.
