Kilkenny and Tyrone dominate player-of-the-year nominations
Kilkenny's scoring hero from the recent All-Ireland final Eddie Brennan and Tyrone's two-time All-Ireland-winning captain Brian Dooher top the list of nominees for the Vodafone GAA Player of the Year awards.
The announcement of the shortlist was made last night and notably, there are no previous winners of either the football or hurling award in the running for the 2008 gongs.
