GPA hurling team of the year announced

The Opel-GPA Hurling Team of the Year has been announced ahead of the awards ceremony at the Citywest Hotel on Friday. The selected team includes 14 of the players who received All-Star awards last month.

Kilkenny's JJ Delaney is the only player from the GAA All-Stars line-up not to be similarly honoured in the Gaelic Players' Association's selection. Tipperary's Padraic Maher has been named at left half-back, ahead of Delaney.
