Cork, Galway lead hurling AllStar nominations

Five points separated them at the end of last month's All-Ireland hurling final, but there's nothing to split Cork and Galway in the 2005 Vodafone Hurling AllStar nominations, which were announced this evening.

Liam McCarthy Cup holders Cork and beaten finalists Galway have received 11 nominations each on the AllStar list of 45 players.
